Tree Aeration and Fertilization: Why They Matter

Keeping your trees healthy takes more than just water and sunlight. Aeration and fertilization are key to strong root growth, disease prevention, and long-term tree vitality—especially in compacted or urban soils.

What Is Aeration?

Aeration means poking small holes in the soil around your tree to help air, water, and nutrients reach the roots. It helps relieve soil compaction, making it easier for roots to grow. This is often done with a special machine or tool and is best performed in spring or fall.

What Is Fertilization?

Fertilization gives trees the nutrients they need to grow. Trees need nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and important micronutrients like zinc, iron, and manganese. A tree service company can apply the right kind of fertilizer using methods like injection, surface application, or root drenching.

Why It’s Important

In cities and developed areas, trees often struggle because the soil is compacted and lacks natural nutrients. Without help, this can lead to poor growth or even disease. Aeration and fertilization improve soil health and help trees stay strong for the long haul.
