Fertilization isn't only for your lawn; regularly fertilizing your trees and shrubs can help to keep them strong, healthy, and beautiful, just like your grass. At A+ Lawn & Landscape, we offer a tree and shrub fertilization program designed to get your trees and shrubs in perfect shape. We provide this service to property owners in Des Moines, West Des Moines, Ankeny, and nearby cities in Iowa. We offer our tree and shrub fertilization program in the late fall and early spring. Our fertilization process includes applying the fertilizer to the roots of your trees and shrubs through soil injections. The fertilizer we use contains the perfect combination of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium for your trees and shrubs.

When do we fertilize your trees and shrubs?

We choose to fertilize your trees and shrubs in the late fall or the early spring. This is due to the fact that your trees and shrubs are typically dormant at these times. It is best to fertilize your plants when they're dormant because the extra boost of nutrients will help to stimulate healthy growth during growing seasons. Fertilizing your trees and shrubs in the late fall or early spring ensures the best results.

What does our tree and shrub fertilization process look like?

At A+ Lawn & Landscape, we use soil injections to fertilize your trees and shrubs; this is done by injecting liquid fertilizer directly into the soil surrounding your trees and shrubs. Using this method to apply fertilizer straight to the roots of your tree or shrub allows those nutrients to be absorbed faster and into every part of the plant. Applying fertilizer through soil 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.
