We specialize in deep-root fertilization at Top Leaf Tree Service to help mature trees in Tempe, AZ, stay strong during droughts. We understand that dry weather makes it hard for trees to get water and nutrients, which is why our deep-root fertilization puts food right where the roots need it.

Our special tool injects fertilizer 8-12 inches deep, around the tree's drip line, every 2-3 feet. We use natural fertilizers that add good microbes to the soil, making roots grow better and use water wisely.

Our team offers free consultations to keep your trees healthy. Let us help you uncover more ways to protect your trees and keep them thriving in tough conditions.

 

Stressed Trees in Dry Climates

Facing the challenges of dry climates, trees often struggle to maintain their health and vigor. Without enough water, they can't absorb nutrients or fight off pests and diseases.

Their roots dry out, and leaves wilt or fall off. Over time, branches may die or break, and the tree could die. Urban trees face even greater stress, with natural forest trees living several times longer than their city counterparts.

To help trees survive, we need to take action. Here's what we can do:

1. Water deeply and slowly every 10-14 days, focusing on the outer edge of the tree's drip line.

2. Add mulch around the base with 3-4 inches of wood chips to keep the soil moist.

3. Remove grass and weeds near the tree to reduce competition for water.

 

Deep-Root Fertilization Techniques

To guarantee trees thrive in challenging environments, we often rely on deep-root fertilization techniques. These methods deliver nutrients directly to the roots, helping trees grow strong and healthy.

We use a special tool called a root zone injection probe to place fertilizer deep into the soil. 

Here's how it works:

1. Inject fertilizer - We push it into the soil 8-12 inches deep, right where the roots are.

2. Space it out - We place the fertilizer every 2-3 feet around the tree's drip line.

3. Improve soil - This method helps break up hard soil, letting water and air reach the roots better.

Deep-root fertilization keeps trees safe and strong, even in tough conditions.

Beneficial microbes in our soil amendments enhance nutrient absorption and promote sustainable tree growth.

 

Natural Fertilizers Enhance Resilience

Natural fertilizers, rich in beneficial microbes and organic nutrients, play a crucial role in enhancing tree resilience. They help trees grow stronger roots, use water better, and stay healthy during tough times like droughts.

Here's how they work:

1. Stronger roots: Natural fertilizers make roots grow bigger and deeper, so trees can find water and food more easily.

2. Better water use: The microbes in these fertilizers help trees drink water smarter, even when it's dry.

3. Healthier soil: They improve the soil, making it easier for roots to breathe and grow.

We recommend applying them every 2 months during the growing season for the best results.

Our certified arborists ensure proper fertilizer application for optimal tree health and longevity in Tempe's climate.
