Professional Fertilization Services
Give your landscape the nourishment it needs to thrive with our professional tree fertilization services in Lancaster County. Fertilization is essential for maintaining the health, appeal, and longevity of your trees and shrubs.
What Is Tree Fertilization?
Tree fertilization is the process of supplying essential nutrients directly to your trees and shrubs or the soil to stimulate their growth and overall vitality. It involves applying fertilizers to supplement what roots naturally draw from the soil, ensuring they receive the right balance of nutrients for optimal tree health. Fertilization ultimately results in stronger roots, lush foliage, and resilience against environmental stressors by feeding the tree as a whole.
Explore the Benefits of Tree Fertilization ?
Investing in expert tree care and fertilization offers a range of benefits for your landscape and property. Some of the advantages include:
Improved tree health: Fertilization supplies trees with the nutrients they need to grow stronger and healthier. It is especially beneficial for young or nutrient-deficient trees.
Increased stress resistance: Health-focused fertilization can improve the tree's resilience to environmental stressors, allowing it to better fend off insects, common diseases, and extreme temperatures.
Enhanced growth and foliage: A well-nourished tree can grow to its fullest potential. Fertilization encourages vibrant, full canopies and robust new growth.
Better soil conditions: Fertilization is just as essential for soil health as it is for tree growth. Our organic formulations enrich the soil, fostering sustainable growth and long-term plant vitality.

Why Choose Arborist Enterprises for Fertilization Services ?
At Arborist Enterprises, our Certified Arborists bring years of expertise and a passion for tree care. We use only high-quality, commercial-grade fertilizers and advanced application techniques to ensure your trees receive precisely what they need. Some of the reasons our clients choose our fertilization services include:
Our Holistic Approach to Fertilization
While some tree care companies only focus on the three primary macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium), our team at Arborist Enterprises considers the bigger picture and micronutrients as well.
We Don’t Use Excessive Nitrogen
Nitrogen encourages growth in your trees, and applying high-nitrogen fertilizers can encourage too much growth in a tree at the wrong time. We don’t apply fertilizers with no regard for the long-term ramifications to your tree.
We Tailor Our Fertilizer to Your Tree’s Needs
Trees all need different levels of nutrients to thrive — some trees benefit from more iron or manganese than others. We will customize the fertilizer to your tree's specific needs, rather than use a one-size-fits-all approach.
We Know the Proper Timings
Proper timing is critical with fertilization, as applying fertilizer at the wrong time can encourage too much weak growth that the cold Lancaster County winters will kill. We’ll work with you to come up with a time when fertilization is best for your trees.
We Have Access to Commercial Fertilizers
Many of the fertilizers you'll find at a big-box store won't have the same comprehensive concentration of nutrients we can provide with our specialized commercial fertilizers.

Tree and Shrub Fertilization FAQs
The frequency of fertilization depends on the specific needs of your landscape. Typically, trees and shrubs benefit from fertilization once or twice a year, while lawns may require more frequent treatments. Our experts will assess your soil and plants to create a customized schedule that ensures optimal growth.
Soil injection involves delivering nutrients directly into the root zone of your trees and shrubs. This method is highly effective because it places essential nutrients right where they are needed most, promoting healthy root development and overall plant vitality.
This is a common question and a reason why many people don’t consider fertilizing their trees. In a forest setting, tree leaves and fallen branches decompose into the forest floor, acting as a compost that returns nutrients to the soil and breaks up any soil compaction. Trees don’t naturally grow in yards, so they need help to thrive.
Yard trees don’t have the same forest floor benefits as trees in a forest, and they face other issues as well, such as:
- Compacted soil that prohibits roots from growing and acquiring nutrients
- Much lawn soil is subsoil with poorer nutrients rather than topsoil
- No natural decay to replenish depleted nutrients
Trees will display several signs indicating they may require fertilization, including:
- Stunted growth
- Patchy foliage or dead patches in the canopy
- Yellow or discolored leaves
- Premature leaf drop
- Increased insect activity
If you’re not sure if your trees demand fertilizer, our ISA Certified Arborists can help identify when a tree will benefit from fertilization.
Yes, and it can cause serious harm to your tree to apply too much fertilizer. Not only that, but excess fertilizer may wash off after a rainstorm and deposit into the waterways. Don’t apply fertilizer yourself; trust our team at Arborist Enterprises to apply the right does for every tree.
