What Is Tree Fertilization?

Tree fertilization is the process of providing essential nutrients directly to a tree’s root zone to promote strong growth, vibrant foliage, and long-term health. For commercial landscapes, this is especially important as trees face additional stress from compacted soil, limited root space, and urban environmental conditions.

At Kolcun Tree Care, we use deep root fertilization techniques that deliver nutrients directly where your trees need them most—beneath the surface at the root level. This method ensures maximum absorption, helping your property’s trees remain healthy, attractive, and structurally sound for years to come.

Why Do You Need Tree Fertilization?

It strengthens and preserves your commercial landscape by keeping trees healthy in challenging soil and urban environments.

Enhance Curb Appeal and Property Value

Lush, vibrant trees create a welcoming atmosphere and leave a lasting impression on tenants, visitors, and customers.

Combat Nutrient-Deficient Soil

In areas with sandy or compacted soil, fertilization is critical to prevent weak growth, poor color, and structural decline.

Reduce Risk of Tree Decline and Loss

Well-nourished trees are more resilient to pests, disease, and storm damage—protecting your investment and reducing emergency costs.

Tree Fertilization FAQs

Professional nutrient solutions to strengthen trees, boost growth, and enhance curb appeal for commercial landscapes
  • Can fertilization improve the curb appeal of my commercial property?
    Absolutely. Fertilization enhances foliage color, density, and seasonal growth, creating a vibrant, well-maintained appearance. When paired with professional tree trimming, your landscape will project a polished and welcoming look that benefits brand perception and tenant satisfaction.
  • Does commercial tree fertilization help with pest and disease resistance?
    Yes. Well-nourished trees are better equipped to resist pests, fungal infections, and other health threats. By combining fertilization with routine inspections and professional tree trimming, you create an environment where trees can thrive naturally while reducing the likelihood of costly treatments or removals later.


  • Does fertilization work on older or mature trees?
    Yes, mature trees benefit greatly from targeted fertilization, especially if they are located in nutrient-depleted or compacted soils. For high-value or landmark trees on commercial sites, fertilization combined with professional tree trimming helps preserve their structure and beauty for decades.


  • How does commercial tree fertilization improve safety on my property?
    Healthy trees are structurally stronger and less likely to suffer branch breakage or toppling during storms. Fertilization strengthens root systems and canopy growth, reducing hazards near walkways, parking lots, and buildings. Combined with professional tree trimming, fertilization ensures that your trees are both beautiful and safe for employees, visitors, and tenants.


  • How often should commercial trees be fertilized?
    The frequency depends on soil conditions, tree species, climate, and the level of environmental stress. Many commercial properties benefit from annual or semi-annual fertilization as part of a proactive maintenance plan. An ISA Certified Arborist can assess your site and create a fertilization schedule that works alongside other services like residential tree pruning services or seasonal trimming.


  • Is commercial tree fertilization different from residential tree care?
    The principles are similar, but commercial tree fertilization typically involves larger-scale planning, specialized equipment, and coordination with property managers or landscaping crews. While residential tree pruning services focus on smaller-scale maintenance, commercial fertilization often requires ongoing monitoring by an ISA Certified Arborist to ensure compliance with municipal guidelines and landscape goals.


  • What is commercial tree fertilization and why is it important for business properties?

    Commercial tree fertilization is the process of supplying essential nutrients to trees on business properties, campuses, and HOA-managed landscapes to promote healthy growth, structural stability, and longevity. Poor soil quality, compacted ground, and urban stress often prevent trees from getting the nutrition they need. An ISA Certified Arborist designs a fertilization program to keep your trees thriving, complementing services like professional tree trimming and even residential tree pruning services for mixed-use properties.

  • Who should manage fertilization on a commercial property?
    An ISA Certified Arborist should oversee your tree fertilization program to ensure nutrient blends, application methods, and timing are tailored to the specific species and soil conditions on your property. Their expertise allows them to integrate fertilization into a broader Plant Health Care plan that also includes professional tree trimming and structural maintenance. This comprehensive approach is critical for large-scale commercial landscapes.
