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.

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.
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.

31Deep 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.
How do I get an estimate for deep root fertilization?
Fill in the form or call or text 615-431-3789. A few photos and a rough height usually give us what we need, and we send a written price. Larger jobs start with a short visit.
