Trees along Arlington and Fairfax streets grow in some of the toughest soil in the region, and fall is when feeding them does the most good.
Urban soil is often compacted, stripped of leaf litter, and full of construction fill. Mature oaks, maples, and tulip poplars growing in those conditions can run short on nutrients, even when they look fine from the ground. Signs of trouble include small or pale leaves, early fall color, and slow twig growth.
As the canopy goes dormant, roots keep growing well into late fall. Fertilizing now supports that root growth and helps trees store energy for spring. We tailor every treatment to the tree and its soil instead of applying the same mix to every yard. A soil test or a close look at the tree's condition tells us whether feeding will help at all.
It is craftsman-quality care on a small scale, and we are always glad to explain what your trees need and why.
