Fall Deep Root Feeding

Deep Root Feeding is a tree-care method that delivers fertilizer and other essential nutrients directly into the root zone of the tree.Using high-pressure equipment, your O'Hara landscaping arborist injects slow release fertilizer as deeply as three feet where tree roots can more efficiently absorb it without competing with shallow-rooted plants for the nutrients.

Deep root feeding improves the overall health and vigor of your trees, making them more resistant to environmental threats such as disease, drought, wind storms and insect attacks. It also promotes prolific flowering in your ornamental trees, making those seasonal blushes that much more dramatic!

In addition to the direct benefits to your trees, deep root feeding improves the soil quality surrounding them by aerating the compacted clay soil so common to the St. Louis landscape. This allows more water, oxygen and nutrients to infiltrate the soil and to penetrate it more deeply.

In natural environments, decomposing organic material not found in the urban landscape not only nurtures the trees but the soil as well, making it more porous and hospitable to deep root development.  This makes the tree more stable and less vulnerable to adverse conditions. It also inhibits those shall surface roots so famous for heaving pavement and perforating drain pipes, In the urban landscape, deep root feeding promotes this deep, downward root development providing a healthier and longer life for your tree.
