What does our tree and shrub fertilization process look like?

At A+ Lawn & Landscape, we use root injections to fertilize your trees and shrubs; this is done by injecting liquid fertilizer directly into the roots of your trees and shrubs. Using this method to apply fertilizer allows those nutrients to be absorbed faster and into every part of the plant. Applying fertilizer through root injections also ensures that we are applying the exact dosage that your tree or shrub needs. This is crucial because too much fertilizer can cause damage to your plants and too little fertilizer won't do the job.


Our fertilizer has the ideal blend of nutrients for your trees and shrubs.

The fertilizer we use for your trees and shrubs is specially formulated to provide the perfect amount of vital nutrients for these plants. Our tree and shrub fertilizer contains:

  • Nitrogen: Nitrogen is what gives the leaves of your trees and shrubs their vibrant green color. It also helps to strengthen your trees and shrubs and keep them sturdy. Nitrogen deficiency will stunt the growth of your trees and shrubs and cause them to not have that ideal green color.
  • Phosphorus: Phosphorus primarily promotes healthy root development. An abundance of this nutrient helps your trees and shrubs become lush and thick and allows your plants to grow more efficiently. Phosphorus deficiency will cause the leaves or flowers on your trees and shrubs to appear underdeveloped.
  • Potassium: Potassium allows your trees and shrubs to absorb water and other vital nutrients more easily. It also helps your trees and shrubs to utilize proteins and starches in your soil. Potassium deficiency often results in your trees and shrubs becoming overly sensitive to stressors like drought, heat, and cold.
