Deep root fertilization is a specialized treatment where we use high-pressure injection equipment to deliver a liquid nutrient blend directly into the soil at a depth of 6 to 12 inches. In Northwest Louisiana, this method is far more effective than surface fertilization because it bypasses the dense, compacted red clay that often prevents water and nutrients from reaching the feeder roots.
Your tree likely needs deep root fertilization if you notice signs of stress or if it lives in the typical clay soils of Shreveport and Bossier City. Common indicators that your tree requires a professional health assessment include:
Because we have over 40 years of experience serving Northwest Louisiana, we understand that our hot summers and periodic droughts rapidly deplete soil nutrients. We start with a soil nutrient analysis to evaluate pH and levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. This allows our certified arborists to create a custom, species-specific plan tailored to your property. By delivering nutrients directly to the root zone, we encourage deeper root development, which significantly improves your tree’s drought resilience and overall vitality.
