Fall is one of the best times to fertilize Houston oaks and elms, because trees are shifting their energy from leaves to roots right now.
After a long summer of heat and compacted clay soil, many established trees across Memorial, Meyerland, Spring, and Klein head into fall with low reserves. Turf grass, raked-away leaves, and old construction fill strip away the organic matter a natural forest floor would provide.
Champions Tree Preservation's certified arborists look at the tree and its soil before recommending anything. When fertilizing is the right step, we use a slow-release blend placed where feeder roots actually grow, in the top foot of soil and well past the drip line. When a tree needs better drainage or mulch first, we say so.
A well-fed tree leafs out stronger in spring and handles drought, pests, and Gulf storms with more resilience. Our family-owned team has been caring for Greater Houston's trees since 1983, one root zone at a time.
