Using cutting-edge techniques, we deliver nourishment directly to where plants need it most.
In urban environments like Wichita, trees often struggle to get the nutrients they need from the soil. Our ISA Certified Arborists use advanced methods to supplement these missing elements, whether the trees are in residential yards, lining city streets, or gracing public parks.

The Importance of Tree Fertilization in Wichita
Wichita's unique environment presents several challenges for tree health, making regular fertilization all the more necessary for urban and suburban trees. Here's why:
Urban Soil Conditions: Construction and development often lead to compacted, nutrient-poor soils that are less than ideal for tree growth.
Agricultural Effects: Nearby agriculture can alter urban soil chemistry through runoff. We correct imbalances to ensure trees get the right nutrient mix.
Alkaline Soils: Wichita's limestone and shale bedrock creates high pH soils. Our specialized fertilizers help trees access nutrients in these conditions.
Nutrient Loss: Trees deplete soil nutrients over time. In suburban areas where organic matter is often removed before it decays, fertilization is necessary.
Climate Stress: Wichita's seasonal weather extremes stress trees, especially when grown in poor soil. Proper nutrition boosts their resilience to our challenging climate.
Benefits of Professional Tree Fertilization
Boost Tree Health
Professional fertilization boosts tree vitality, enhancing their natural defense systems. This increased resilience helps trees better withstand pests, diseases, and environmental stressors, reducing the need for reactive treatments.
Improve Tree Appearance
Proper fertilization leads to lusher foliage, more vibrant colors, and increased flowering in ornamental species, boosting curb appeal and creating a more inviting outdoor space.
Revitalize Mature Trees
Our fertilization services can breathe new life into older trees, stimulating fresh growth and improving overall health. This rejuvenation helps preserve the character and environmental benefits that established trees bring to your landscape.
Improve Soil Ecosystem
Our treatments go beyond just feeding trees. They enhance the entire soil food web, promoting beneficial microorganisms and improving soil structure. This creates a healthier environment for all plants in the treated area.
Increase Drought Tolerance
Properly fertilized trees develop denser root systems, with more tiny root fibers that take in moisture. This improved structure helps trees better manage drought stress.
Enhance Seasonal Colors
Regular fertilization can lead to more vibrant fall colors in deciduous trees and lusher spring growth and flowers. Enjoy the full spectrum of seasonal changes with trees that are healthy enough to put on their best display year-round.
