Trees planted in urban and suburban environments often struggle with compacted soil, restricted root zones, and a lack of naturally occurring organic matter. To counteract these environmental stresses, Arbor Tree Service offers science-backed tree fertilization in the Detroit metro area. Leveraging the research and expertise of the Davey Institute, our arborists perform targeted deep root feeding and soil amendments that deliver essential nutrients directly to the root zone, alleviate soil compaction, and promote robust, resilient growth for your landscape's most valuable assets.
Addressing Urban Soil Compaction
In a natural, wooded environment, trees thrive because the soil is continuously enriched by fallen leaves and decomposing organic matter. However, on commercial properties, HOA grounds, and residential lawns, we routinely clear away this debris. Combined with the stress of surrounding concrete, asphalt, construction, and foot traffic, urban soil becomes compacted and nutrient-deficient.
Applying a high-quality fertilizer is one of the most effective ways to replace these missing nutrients and give your trees the foundation they need to resist disease, pests, and severe weather.
The Arbor Green PRO® Advantage
To provide the highest standard of care, we utilize Davey’s Arbor Green PRO® — an advanced, slow-release fertilizer formulated by the scientists at the Davey Institute. This patented blend features synthesized organic nitrogen fortified with polyamino acids.
By injecting Arbor Green PRO® directly into the root zone as a liquid, our process achieves several vital outcomes for your trees:
- Uniform growth
- Lower risk of leaching
- Greater efficiency of nutrient absorption
