Do you want to have thriving and beautiful trees and shrubs? One of the best ways that you can help your trees and shrubs to grow healthy and to maintain their longevity is with a tree and shrub program that includes tree fertilization. While people sometimes assume that once trees and shrubs are in the ground they’ll take care of themselves, the reality is they need some help.

Trees in urban and suburban environments are under a lot more stress than trees of the forest where nutrients are readily available. In a forest, fallen leaves naturally decompose and provide a nutrient rich soil which is moist from ample shade, and without the competition of turfgrasses.

Without those natural benefits in the home landscape, tree fertilization can make up for harsher conditions and provide many benefits to help trees to survive on your property.

If you’re thinking about investing in a service like this, you might be wondering how much it costs. In short, a well-rounded service breaks down to costing less than $2/day. In this article, we’ll share more about what you can expect from a plant health care service, including the expense.

What’s Included in Professional Plant Health Care?

A tree and shrub care service typically combines fertilization with pest and disease control. There are many benefits to each of these services. Fertilization helps replenish nutrients, grow stronger roots, extend the plant’s life, and improve its appearance. And disease and pest control obviously keep harmful problems from destroying your trees and shrubs.

While you could just opt for tree fertilization, that’s becoming increasingly less common as there are more and more issues arising in trees and shrubs around the country that require attention. It doesn’t make sense to pay to have your trees and shrubs fertilized only to ultimately lose them to a disease or pest.

Recently (at the time we were writing this blog), an issue with the Box Tree Moth had arisen and we were right on top of it. This helped our clients to avoid losing their Boxwood trees to this invasive species.

There are constantly new threats arising. But investing in a plant health care program means those worries don’t fall on you. It is our responsibility to find solutions. That’s why there’s value in investing in the full program.

What Does Tree and Shrub Fertilization in Ohio Cost?

At Oasis Turf & Tree, our tree and shrub care service starts at $577.50 per year.

If you were just to separate out the tree fertilizing cost, it would be starting at $112.50 for deep root feeding and we would do two visits a year, for $225 total.

But as we mentioned, there are going to be other issues that can arise in the landscape, so investing in the full program makes better sense for full protection. You can still wind up losing an otherwise healthy and well-fertilized tree to an insect or a disease.

The full program includes:

• 7 Tree & Shrub Health Care Visits

Is Tree and Shrub Care Worth It?

Your trees and shrubs are a valuable part of your landscape. Therefore, taking steps to protect your investment is worth it.

In fact, investing in plant health care in Ohio can mean preventing a lot of problems from ever occurring in the first place.

Usually, homeowners understand the value of paying for regular lawn care, but they sometimes forget their trees and shrubs. This is concerning since your trees and shrubs actually represent a much larger investment than a lawn.

In other words, it can be really expensive to lose trees and shrubs…and they aren’t always easy to replace, either. You’ll likely have a hole in your landscape until you find a tree or shrub to replace what you lost. And it can be especially difficult if you have mature plants that have died.

It’s also a matter of being proactive instead of reactive. This can save you money in the long run. People usually don’t always think about tree care services until after something is already wrong. But an important reason to hire a tree care company before you spot any problems is so that you don’t wait until it’s too late. You can count on them to be keeping a watchful eye on your property.
