Watering, mulching, and pruning all help our trees stay strong and attractive, but tree and shrub fertilization is also critical to their well-being. The trees and shrubs in your yard need regular care to look their best. Turn to the experts that your Dawsonville, GA, neighbors rely on at Alf Lawn & Pest Solutions for professional fertilization services to provide your plants with the nutrients they need the most.
Why Tree and Shrub Fertilization Matters
Your trees and shrubs compete for nutrients from the lawn, flower beds, and other plants. Unlike trees in the forest, landscape trees don’t have access to decaying plant matter and nutrient-rich soil because homeowners remove leaves and other organic debris before they can nourish the trees. This means that you need to fertilize trees for several reasons.
Support newly planted trees
Young trees are under tremendous stress, making them especially vulnerable to disease and weather effects. Regular fertilization ensures they have the nutrients for root development and strong, healthy growth.
Avoid essential nutrient deficiencies
It’s common for landscape trees and shrubs to have nutrient deficiencies that cause weak growth, dead branches, a thin canopy, and discolored leaves. Nutrient-rich fertilizer helps preserve a healthy tree and prevent damage or weakness that could cause it to fall or require removal.
Keep trees looking beautiful
Trees that look weak or stunted do not flower like they should or have discolored leaves that detract from your landscape and curb appeal. Professional tree and shrub fertilization keeps them looking healthy and attractive.

How Our Fertilizers for Trees Are Different
Alf Lawn & Pest Solutions technicians are experts in tree and shrub fertilization and use specially formulated natural fertilizers to meet your trees’ needs. We provide the perfect dosage of slow-release fertilizer, avoiding over- or under-fertilizing each plant.
Our fertilizer blends include three critical nutrients for healthy trees:
Nitrogen
Nitrogen supports robust and healthy growth and vibrant green leaves. A nitrogen deficiency can cause weak or slow growth and pale, discolored leaves.
Phosphorus
Phosphorus supports healthy root development and helps trees and shrubs grow thick and lush. A lack of phosphorus may lead to undeveloped leaves and flowers.
Potassium
Potassium helps the tree roots absorb water and nutrients and more effectively use starches and proteins in the soil. Without adequate potassium, trees and shrubs are susceptible to stress from drought and extreme hot or cold weather.
When To Schedule Tree and Shrub Fertilization
We prefer to fertilize trees and shrubs during the growing seasons. However, before deciding on when to fertilize your plants, we will meet with you, discuss your landscaping goals, and inspect your plants to see what they will benefit from most.
We apply natural fertilizers to trees in the late fall to replenish the nutrients lost during the summer. Early spring fertilizer application supports new growth, keeps the leaves green and healthy, and helps the tree fight disease and pest infestations.
Alf Lawn & Pest Solutions uses slow-release fertilizers that uniformly provide nutrients. We understand that Dawsonville, GA, trees require fertilizer application when they’re most vulnerable.

FAQs About Tree and Shrub Fertilization
While we list some FAQs and their answers here, never hesitate to ask an Alf pest control specialist for more detail.
Fertilizing trees on hot summer days can cause stress. Fertilizer triggers plant growth, but the tree also needs more water and nutrients, which may not be readily available when it’s hot. Fertilizing during cooler, wetter periods helps ensure a strong, healthy tree.
It is possible to over-fertilize trees and shrubs. Applying fertilizer excessively or too often can cause weak growth and leave the tree susceptible to breakage, disease, and injury from weather conditions and pests. Over-fertilization can also contaminate soil and groundwater if the tree’s roots do not absorb the fertilizer.
Shrubs need fertilizing during the growing season. In most cases, this means a monthly feeding during the spring and summer.
