A Note From Our Arborists:

Summer heat and dry spells take a heavy toll on Louisville's trees and shrubs. As we head into fall, local soil needs help recovering before winter sets in.

While spring fuels above-ground growth, fall is essential for deep root recovery. Our 2-visit annual program (spring & fall) injects essential organic nutrients deep into the root zone to:

  • Build Winter Resilience: Strengthen depleted roots to withstand freezing temperatures.
  • Store Essential Energy: Nourish active root growth so trees burst back to life next spring.
  • Repair Summer Stress: Rebuild soil health after heat waves and drought.

Fall Deep Root Fertilization applications begin in October, and spots on our arborist schedule are filling up quickly. Lock in your timing today and take $50 off your first visit!

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.
