Tree Health Care

Feed the roots, not the lawn.

Most yard trees live in compacted, nutrient-poor soil. Deep root fertilization and soil care put nutrients and oxygen where roots can reach them.

Better soil. Stronger trees.
The overview

What it is, and why it matters.

A tree growing in a yard is not growing in a forest. The soil is compacted, the leaf litter is raked away and lawn roots compete for water and nutrients. Many struggling trees need nothing more than better soil care.

Nashville Tree Service offers deep root fertilization, aeration and mulching across Middle Tennessee. We test or inspect the soil, feed with a balanced slow-release product and recommend water and mulch habits that give the tree a better start every season.

Why people choose it

Four things done right.

Feeds where roots grow

Nutrients go several inches below the surface.

Improves the soil

Aeration helps roots breathe.

Matched to the tree

Rates and timing depend on species and site.

Pairs with mulch

A proper mulch ring protects roots and holds moisture.

Good questions

Deep Root Fertilization: common questions

Do all trees need fertilizer?

No. Healthy trees in good soil often need none. A soil check tells us if it will help.

How often is deep root feeding done?

Many programs are once or twice a year, depending on the tree and the soil.
