Spring feeding supports active growth and new leaf production. Fall feeding builds root reserves and carbohydrate storage that help trees survive winter and push strong growth the following spring.

Lawn fertilizers are high in nitrogen and designed for shallow-rooted turf. Trees need different N-P-K ratios, different micronutrients (especially chelated iron in Utah), and delivery at much greater depth. Surface-applied lawn fertilizer near trees is mostly intercepted by grass roots and never reaches tree roots at the 6-12 inch depth where they absorb nutrients. Deep root injection solves this problem completely." } } ] }, { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Service", "name": "Plant Health Care", "description": "Utah's alkaline, clay-heavy soils often lack the nutrients trees need to thrive.

Our deep root fertilization delivers custom nutrient blends directly to the root zone, correcting deficiencies and building long-term tree health, especially important for transplants, stressed trees, and any tree showing signs of chlorosis. Unlike surface-applied fertilizers that get intercepted by turf grass, deep root injection puts nutrients exactly where tree roots can absorb them, at depths of 6-12 inches where the absorbing roots actually live. ## WHEN YOU NEED PLANT HEALTH CARE Fertilization helps trees struggling in Utah's challenging soils: - Yellowing leaves (chlorosis) from iron deficiency in alkaline soil - Sparse canopy, undersized leaves, or poor growth - Trees stressed by drought, construction, or root damage - Newly transplanted trees that need establishment support - Mature trees showing signs of decline without pest or disease issues - Fruit trees with poor yield despite adequate watering ## FERTILIZATION PROCESS 1 ### Soil & Foliage Analysis We assess soil pH, nutrient levels, and tree symptoms to develop a custom fertilizer prescription. Utah's high pH causes specific deficiencies (iron, manganese) that generic fertilizers miss. 2 ### Deep Root Injection Using specialized equipment, we inject liquid fertilizer directly into the root zone at 6-12 inch depth, bypassing turf competition and delivering nutrients where trees actually absorb them. 3 ### Micronutrient Correction We supplement with chelated iron, manganese, and other micronutrients that Utah's alkaline soils lock out. This addresses chlorosis that's common in maples, oaks, and birches here. 4 ### Seasonal Program For best results, we recommend a seasonal fertilization schedule, typically spring and fall applications, tailored to your trees' species and condition. ## OUR TEAM IN ACTION ![Climbers Tree Care crew at work - photo 1](/images/PXL_20260209_160652775.jpg) ![Climbers Tree Care crew at work - photo 2](/images/PXL_20260114_173923545.jpg) ![Climbers Tree Care crew at work - photo 3](/images/PXL_20251120_174328683.jpg) ![Climbers Tree Care crew at work - photo 4](/images/PXL_20260126_182120527.jpg) ![Climbers Tree Care crew at work - photo 5](/images/PXL_20251124_210827034.jpg) ![Climbers Tree Care crew at work - photo 6](/images/PXL_20260209_170620440.jpg) ## WHAT AFFECTS PRICING Every job is different. Here are the factors that influence your quote: - Number and size of trees to fertilize - Soil testing and analysis - Custom nutrient blend requirements - Frequency (one-time vs. seasonal program) - Micronutrient supplements for chlorosis treatment ## WHY HIRE A PRO Tree fertilization isn't the same as spreading lawn fertilizer under a tree. Trees and turf have fundamentally different nutrient needs, root depths, and uptake mechanisms. Utah's high-pH soil (7.5-8.5) locks up iron, manganese, and zinc in forms that roots can't absorb, causing the chlorosis (yellowing) that's epidemic in our maples, oaks, and birches. Correcting this requires chelated micronutrients delivered by deep root injection, products and equipment that aren't available at the garden center. Our arborist analyzes your soil pH and tree symptoms to develop a custom prescription, then delivers it with professional injection equipment at the right depth and concentration. Over-fertilizing is just as harmful as under-fertilizing, which is why professional diagnosis matters before applying anything. ## FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ### Why do my trees have yellow leaves in Utah? ### When is the best time to fertilize trees? ### Is tree fertilizer different from lawn fertilizer? ## RELATED SERVICES [ ![Arborist Consultation](/images/arborist-consultation.jpg) ### ARBORIST CONSULTATION Learn More ](/services/arborist-consultation)[ ![Tree Insect Control](/images/tree-insect-control.jpg) ### TREE INSECT CONTROL Learn More ](/services/tree-insect-control)[ ![Tree Fungal Control](/images/tree-fungal-control.jpg) ### TREE FUNGAL CONTROL Learn More ](/services/tree-fungal-control) ## READY TO GET STARTED?
