Why Fertilization and Soil Improvement Matter
Long-Term Benefits for Your Trees and Soil
Soil is crucial to tree health, as it provides a tree with nutrients that aid in its growth and development. When the soil doesn’t have the proper nutrients a tree needs, it can stunt the development of a tree and leave it stressed.
Trees are not meant to grow in urban environments naturally. In a forest, trees benefit from fallen leaves and branches decomposing and adding nutrients to the soil. They do not have the same luxury in urban environments, meaning homeowners need to provide some of these nutrients as they are depleted from the soil.
Additionally, in urban developments, soil is usually subsoil that lacks nutrients rather than topsoil.
How We Fertilize Trees in Fort Worth
We’ve refined our process for fertilization services to give you the easiest experience and your trees the best chance to thrive. Below is our process for fertilizing your trees.
Initial Assessment
We will examine your trees and look for any signs of stress and nutrient deficiencies. If we think your tree will benefit from fertilization, we’ll provide you with a quote for the work.
Conduct a Soil Test
Once you’ve accepted the quote, we can test your soil and determine what nutrients the tree is lacking.
Develop a Plan
When we have an idea of the nutrient breakdown in your soil, we can get to work developing a customized cocktail with the right balance of nutrients to give your trees a boost.
Apply Fertilizer
We’ll change our method depending on the needs of the tree, space requirements, and soil structure.
Set Up a Schedule
After the initial round of fertilization, we will set up a fertilization plan for the long-term care of your trees.

Benefits of Fertilization for Trees
Fertilization has several benefits for your trees, including:
Improved Health: Much like our bodies, trees are better able to fight off disease when they are vigorous. Fertilization will boost the overall health of your trees.
Better Quality Soil: Fertilization and soil building will improve the quality of your soil and give you better quality soil in the future.
Increased Growth: Fertilization will give your tree the nutrients it needs to grow larger. This will make your trees more aesthetically pleasing and increase curb appeal.
Signs Your Trees Need Fertilization
Your tree has several signs that tell you that something is wrong with it. Many of these signs also look like general tree stress, so we recommend hiring an arborist to conduct a soil test to determine if a lack of nutrients is the main culprit in producing symptoms. Common symptoms of lack of nutrients include:
Lack of growth
Small leaves
Discolored leaves
Premature leaf drop
Decrease in foliage
Fewer flowers or fruit
Dying branches
Tree Fertilization FAQs
The best times to fertilize trees are in the fall as the trees are entering their dormancy and the spring as the trees begin growing for the year. We recommend a slow-release fertilizer that will provide nutrients over a long period rather than all at once.
It depends on what a soil test reveals. Fertilization should be targeted to replace missing nutrients in the soil rather than just using a general fertilizer yearly.
The most important macronutrient for trees is nitrogen, which aids in its growth. The other most essential macronutrients are phosphorus and potassium.
Our deep root fertilization method can help reduce compaction in soil. The team at Arbor Masters also offers air spading services to aerate the soil and reduce compaction.
