Soil Enhancement
Soil Enhancement For Trees
Replacing natural organic matter and boosting nutrients in soil is the best way to improve the health and vitality of your trees. We promote natural long-term solutions for soil enhancement using the following techniques:
Mulching: Placing mulch around the base of a tree adds organic matter, keeps soil moist, allows rain water to be absorbed by the roots, and reduces weed growth.
Radial Trenching: Digging narrow trenches (3-4” wide and 8-12” deep) around the base of a tree from trunk to root tip, in the shape of a wagon wheel, and replacing the excavated soil with nutrient-rich compost revitalizes soil through the entire root area.
Vertical Mulching: Holes (2-3” wide) are excavated in a grid (about 3’ square) throughout the root zone of the tree. Excavated holes are filled with nutrient-rich compost and other beneficial additives in order to augment the soil structure.
Severely stressed declining trees may require a more immediate solution in order to survive. In this case we will use synthetic fertilizers to enhance soil nutrients and promote quick recovery.
