Deep Root Fertilization
 
We are now offering deep root fertilization to our customers. This application is a comprehensive fertility program for trees and shrubs. It will provide most, if not all, of the essentials needed by your plants. We can custom mix for all of your plantings and inject the mix into your soil. This program is to promote growth, color, and flowering. A combination of the following will be provided on our deep root feeding service:
 
  • Slow release nitrogen
  • Sulfate of potash-potassium
  • Phosphorus
  • Sea Weed Extract
  • Humic Acid
  • Wetting agent-soil penetrant
  • Minerals, vitamins, and micronutrients, such as;
  • Iron, zinc, manganese, copper, boron
  • Mycorrhizal fungi
  • Beneficial bacteria
Deep root fertilization will improve the overall health and vigor of your ornamental plants and trees. It is a great compliment to other fertilization and can be done annually or semi-annually. These injections are organically fortified with humic acid, sea weed extract, amino acids, beneficial fungi, beneficial bacteria, vitamins, minerals, and other natural plant compounds. Your trees and shrubs will have more new growth, be greener, bigger, healthier, and provide larger blooms. This service is beneficial to all species including, but not limited to, palms and evergreens. Please call the office if you are interested in receiving this beneficial service.
 
Pruning Your Trees
If you have a tree you want to control, you can either prune the branches effectively yourself or bring in a tree and shrub care professional – such as Coastal Turf.
 
Cutting back main branches to stubs or “topping” trees is actually self-defeating because the limbs generally grow back higher than before and are ugly, bushy and weak.
 
Topping also weakens the health of a tree because it opens the tree to insects and disease and drastically reduces its ability to make food.
Proper pruning can help trees thrive. For a beneficial change, pruning should be gradual in order to protect the health of the tree.
 
Never remove more than one quarter of the tree’s crown in a single season.
Winter is the best time to prune trees and rose bushes. If you prune before they bud, it encourages new growth and fruit production.
 
Don’t be afraid to thin the branches – the plant will ultimately produce better quality blooms or fruit, rather than a multitude of weaker blooms.
