As Californians, we know our trees endure their fair share of stress. Between the unpredictable rain, extended dry spells, and compacted urban soil, it’s no wonder they could use a little extra TLC. That’s where deep fertilization comes in—a precise, transformative service that goes beyond surface-level care. At Sandborn Tree Service, we’re here to make your trees healthier, stronger, and more vibrant, one root injection at a time.
What Is Deep Root Fertilization?
Deep fertilization is like a spa treatment for your trees, but instead of cucumbers and massage oils, it involves nutrients delivered directly to their roots. We inject a custom blend of essential nutrients, organic matter, and trace minerals 4–6 inches beneath the soil surface, targeting the feeder roots where your tree does most of its nutrient uptake.
This method doesn’t just feed your tree—it nourishes it in ways that improve its ability to thrive:
- Efficient nutrient absorption ensures nothing goes to waste.
- Minimized runoff keeps those nutrients where they belong.
- Improved resilience against drought, soil compaction, and other environmental stressors.
It’s a smart, sustainable way to give your trees what they need to flourish.
Why Is January the Perfect Time?
January is all about fresh starts, and trees are no exception. While they may appear dormant, their root systems are still quietly working beneath the surface, preparing for the active growing season ahead. Deep fertilization in winter gives your trees a nutrient boost at just the right time, so they’re ready to burst into healthy, lush growth come spring.
California’s mild winters make it an ideal time for this service. By starting now, you’ll help your trees recover from last year’s challenges and set the stage for a vibrant year ahead.
Signs Your Trees Need Deep Fertilization
Not sure if your trees are asking for help? Here are some signs they might benefit from deep fertilization:
- Thin or yellowing leaves (or needles for conifers)
- Stunted growth or a sparse canopy
- Excessive shedding of leaves out of season
- Soil compaction in heavily trafficked areas
- Stress from drought or pests
Even if your trees seem fine, a little preventative care goes a long way. Think of it as an insurance policy for their health and beauty.
