Tree Fertilization & Soil Care

Before and after Chinese Pistachio soil revitalization Wake Forest NC

Raleigh and the surrounding area is home to many species of trees — native and planted — but that doesn’t mean that they don’t need adequate yearly care!

Like every living organism, trees require proper conditions and nutrition to thrive. While we don’t have too many drought-like periods here in the greater Raleigh, Wake Forest, and Durham area, the trees in your yard might be lacking in something more than just water.

Andrew, our owner and ISA Certified Arborist, can assess your trees and determine what they need. Many yard trees aren’t adequately or correctly mulched — or lack mulch altogether — which decreases their ability to receive water and nutrients. Environmental stress can also make your trees susceptible to fungi and certain diseases. New home sites can have had topsoil removed and poor grade dirt brought in which causes trees exceptional stress. Whatever it is that is troubling your trees, Andrew can make a full assessment and outline an action plan from the soil up, since the goal of Breitbarth Tree Techs is to preserve your trees — not cut them down!

And even if your trees seem to be doing just fine, deep root watering or proper fertilization — with all natural nutrients essential to tree health — by an ISA Certified Arborist can help extend their longevity, which increases your enjoyment of them and can help maintain property value.

Before and after of a Live Oak tree fertilization Raleigh NC

The pictures here might not mean much to you without details, so here is some context:

Our client with a large ranch had plenty of trees on their property. This Live Oak by the entrance was struggling. It had been extremely sparse for years.

It was fertilized, pruned and had deadwood removed (as part of a larger project) and the “after” picture is less than 2.5 months later. With all natural fertilization this tree is back to thriving.
