Deep Root Fertilization in Louisville | Limbwalker

A Note From Our Arborists:

We have been noticing a common issue across Louisville this spring: trees and shrubs showing signs of drought stress.

Even with occasional heavy rains, the long dry periods we've experienced over the last few months have left many landscapes struggling. This is especially noticeable after several years of unusually wet conditions.

As trees put on new growth each spring, they require significantly more water. During dry periods, stressed trees may begin dropping leaves early, thinning out, or shedding small limbs to conserve resources.

What can you do?

If it goes more than a week without rain during the summer months, water your trees and plants twice per week for about 20 minutes per watering. Focus on the area beneath the canopy where the feeder roots are located.

In addition to proper watering, Limbwalker's Deep Root Fertilization service can help repair and rebuild root systems damaged by drought and poor irrigation.

Deep Root Fertilization in Louisville, KY

With Deep Root Fertilization, nutrients are injected 8 inches into the ground so that the roots are targeted. This is critical when it comes to delivering those nutrients where they’re needed. However, the success of a fertilization service also hinges on the quality of the fertilizer used.

At Limbwalker, we’re using professional-grade tree fertilization products that will deliver the best results. We’re focusing on the correct distribution of the material and making sure that the product is taken up by the tree’s roots and dispersed throughout the entire tree. This process is called translocation.

There are two times of the year when your trees benefit most from a Deep Root Fertilization service: Spring and Fall. Our services are seasonally adjusted for what your trees need at that time.

In the Spring, we are using more nitrogen to promote shoot growth and that beautiful green color. In the Fall, we’re applying more phosphorus and potassium to focus on root growth and set the tree up for maximum success as we head into the dormant season. Deep Root Fertilization is a proactive step that will help protect the health and long-term success of your trees.

I happened to be home today when Ginger stopped by to do the third application of the season. Of course, I knew she was coming because she always sends a detailed and helpful text indicating her plans. I appreciated talking with her in person today. She is very knowledgeable and attentive to the specific needs of my lawn.
