How does Deep Root Feeding Help Mature Trees Survive Extreme Summer Heat?

Deep root feeding is a critical practice for helping mature trees withstand the intense summer heat and seasonal droughts common in Northwest Louisiana. By delivering nutrients directly into the soil, this process helps trees build the resilience necessary to survive extreme conditions.

Our deep root fertilization process assists mature trees through the following methods:

• Bypassing Soil Compaction: Our region’s dense clay soils often restrict root expansion and lock away nutrients. We use specialized equipment to inject a liquid nutrient blend directly into the root zone, bypassing these compacted layers and surface competition from turf.
• Enhancing Root Development: The pressurized injection of nutrients stimulates more robust root growth. A stronger, deeper root system allows the tree to access moisture more effectively during periods of high heat stress.
• Improving Drought Resistance: By ensuring feeder roots have direct access to essential elements, we help the tree maintain its structural integrity and leaf canopy health, which are often the first things to decline during a Shreveport or Bossier City summer.
• Customized Nutrient Blends: Because different species like Southern live oaks, pecans, or pines have unique needs, our four on-staff arborists tailor the nutrient mix to the specific tree and soil profile of your property.
