Can you believe it ? Three droughts in four years.
The 2007 drought was the worst in over 30 years, only to be followed by another drought in 2008. Then, that same year, hurricane Ike hit our trees like a thousand pound sledge hammer. And following that, the 2010 drought severely damaged our surviving trees.
Trees need more water than grass. A good lawn does not mean the tree’s root system is getting enough water to preserve the tree’s health, ensuring survival. Conventional watering methods to save trees result in water bills that are unbelievably high.
Solution: Make Your Trees Healthy and Happy.
To make trees healthy enough to fight against the drought requires aggressive action. Our heavy clay soil is like concrete, and demands soil remediation.
1. We pneumatically install 2 inch holes, ten to twelve inches deep, every three to four feet on center, all under the canopy of the tree. These safely aerate the roots.
2. We then backfill the holes with a special aggregate mixed with a slow release fertilizer, offering nutrients to the tree for the following 18 months.
3. These miniature water wells ensure that when you water, it goes to the roots immediately.
Benefits
1. Direct water straight to the roots to preserve tree health and save your trees.
2. Reduces the amount of needed, and saves money.
3. Time release fertilizer stimulates new root growth and promotes tree health.
