Not sure if this service is the right choice for your trees? Here are some signs that your plants need help.
Do your leaves look yellow or washed out? This is a sign of nutrient deficiencies. Iron chlorosis is common in Texas because of the soil’s high pH level.
Pale or yellowish foliage is a signal to have a pro look at your trees before the problem progresses.
Trees grow at their own pace. But you need fertilization if you notice:
Nutrient deficiencies force trees to redirect their limited energy toward survival instead of growth.
Do your trees have thin or patchy canopies? This is a sign that they’re deprived of nutrients.
Healthy trees produce a full canopy.
Sparse growth also leaves trees more vulnerable to pests and heat stress.
Dead branches signal a range of problems.
Occasional dieback is normal. But if it’s happening across multiple branches or in young growth, it’s time to have your tree evaluated.

These are essential nutrients every plant needs to thrive. It works fast and continues to feed your plants over time.
The best time is fall through spring. Fall feeding loads nutrients into the soil right before spring, which is when your trees do the majority of their annual growing and consume the most food. That timing gives you the most return for your investment.
However, we fertilize year-round. If your trees need food now, we’ll take care of it.
