Soil Care for Healthy Trees and Shrubs
Did you know that many tree problems start beneath the surface? Often, it's what's happening in the soil that determines whether your trees and shrubs thrive or struggle. At Arb Innovations, we take a holistic, sustainable approach to soil care, helping restore the health of your plants from the ground up.
Why Soil Health Matters for Trees and Shrubs
Healthy soil is the foundation of a thriving tree or shrub. Without it, plants become more susceptible to damage from diseases, pests, and adverse weather. However, with proper soil care, your trees and shrubs will not only become more resilient but will also bloom more beautifully and develop lush, vibrant foliage. Plus, healthy plants contribute to the overall value of your property.
Common Soil Issues That Affect Tree Health
At Arb Innovations, we help identify and address common soil problems that may be affecting your trees and shrubs. These issues can include:
- Soil Compaction: Compacted soil can limit root growth and water absorption, which affects a tree’s overall health.
- Girdling Roots: When roots grow in a circular pattern around the base of a tree, they can strangle the trunk, reducing nutrient flow.
- Improper Planting Depth: Trees planted too deep or shallow can struggle to establish a healthy root system.
- Nutrient Deficiencies: Poor soil quality can result in a lack of essential nutrients, stunting plant growth.
Soil Care Solutions from Arb Innovations
We offer a variety of soil care treatment options to ensure your trees and shrubs receive the support they need to flourish. These solutions include:
Vertical Mulching
Vertical mulching is a technique where we create holes around the tree's root zone and fill them with organic material. This improves soil structure, promotes better water absorption, and delivers essential nutrients directly to the roots.
Deep Root Fertilization
Deep root fertilization delivers nutrients directly to the root zone, where trees can absorb them most effectively. This helps to improve overall tree health and resilience against environmental stressors.
Soil Decompaction & Aeration
We use specialized tools to break up compacted soil and aerate it, allowing water, air, and nutrients to reach the roots more easily. This process encourages healthy root growth and enhances the tree's ability to thrive.
Root Pruning
When trees develop girdling roots or other problematic root patterns, our root pruning services can help restore proper growth. Pruning roots encourages healthier, more sustainable tree development.
