Give Nutrients to Your Soil

Supporting Stronger Roots, Healthier Canopies, and Long-Term Vitality

Urban trees live in an entirely different world than forest-grown trees. Unlike natural environments where decomposing leaves and organic matter replenish the soil, trees in lawns and landscapes often struggle with nutrient-poor, compacted, or chemically imbalanced soil.

At Peters - Todd’s, we provide targeted fertilization and soil health treatments designed to give your trees the tools they need to not just survive — but thrive.

Why Fertilization Matters in Urban & Suburban Environments

In forests, trees benefit from nutrient-rich, biologically active soil. In maintained landscapes, however:

Fertilization replenishes these missing nutrients, promotes new growth in young trees, and helps mature trees recover from storm damage, environmental stress, and limb loss.

Our fertilization programs are often enhanced with beneficial mycorrhizae — a symbiotic fungus that forms root-like structures capable of transporting water and nutrients directly to the plant.

Think of it as adding roots to your tree.

Benefits include:

Whether you're preserving a mature shade tree or helping a transplant establish, mycorrhizal inoculation dramatically increases a tree’s ability to adapt and grow in poor urban soils.

Not all deficiencies are visible — and not all nutrients are accessible.

Our team can perform a laboratory soil nutrient analysis, giving us a clear understanding of:

Based on this data, we can create custom fertilizer blends tailored to your tree’s specific needs, avoiding over-application and promoting more sustainable results.
