Strengthen and Protect Your Trees with Professional Deep Root Fertilization

For over 45 years, Hubbard Tree Care has helped property owners across Virginia maintain healthy, vibrant trees through industry-leading tree care practices. One of the most effective ways to promote long-term tree health is through deep root fertilizing — a specialized service that delivers essential nutrients directly to where your trees need them most.

This method ensures that we fertilize effectively by making sure nutrients reach the root zone, improving plant health and resilience to pests and environmental stress. Deep root fertilizing is particularly beneficial for fertilizing trees, as it enhances resistance to disease and improves overall tree health, especially for those struggling or showing signs of decline.

As part of our commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction, we provide precise, science-based fertilization services designed to improve tree vitality, strengthen the tree’s root system, and enhance the beauty of your landscape. Fully licensed and insured in tree service, we bring professionalism and reliability to every project we handle.

What is Deep Root Fertilization?

Unlike traditional surface fertilization, deep root fertilization involves injecting a custom blend of liquid nutrients directly into the root zone of your trees. Using professional-grade equipment, we inject the tree fertilizer below the soil surface, targeting the critical root system where water and nutrients are absorbed.

This process not only provides immediate access to nutrients but also loosens compacted soil, improving oxygen flow, organic matter, and water infiltration — two key factors in maintaining healthy, resilient trees. Additionally, injecting liquid fertilizer directly into the tree root zone ensures maximum nutrient absorption and aids in soil aeration, particularly for trees struggling with issues such as soil compaction or disease resistance.

By utilizing a systematic grid pattern, we ensure even distribution of nutrients throughout the root zone, enhancing the effectiveness of the treatment and promoting healthier plant growth.

    Why Deep Root Fertilization Matters for Tree’s Root Systems

    Virginia’s clay-heavy soils, fluctuating weather patterns, and periods of drought can put stress on trees. Without proper nourishment and moisture, trees may show signs of decline such as:

    • Yellowing or thinning leaves
    • Slow or stunted growth
    • Premature leaf drop
    • Increased susceptibility to pests and disease
    • Dead or dying branches

    Consulting with experts is crucial to determine the most appropriate fertilization treatments for your trees.

    At Hubbard Tree Care, we tailor our fertilization treatments to the specific needs of your trees and shrubs. Our ISA-certified arborists carefully evaluate each tree, shrub, and property before they determine a fertilization plan that will support healthy growth and long-term vitality.

    Certified arborists provide expert advice and consultation to accurately evaluate tree branches, health, and necessary actions.

    Our method of deep root fertilization targets the root zones of shrubs, ensuring they receive essential nutrients for improved resistance to environmental stress.
