Urban trees are the unsung heroes of our neighborhoods. They offer shade, clean air, and beauty to our communities. But life in the city isn’t easy for trees. Limited root space, extreme weather, storm damage, and urban heat island effects create a challenging environment for them to thrive. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our Soil Health Amendment Program, designed specifically for the unique needs of urban trees.

American Arborist Soil Amendment Program

Challenges Urban Trees Face

Limited Root Space: Sidewalks, streets, and buildings restrict root growth, limiting access to essential nutrients.
Storm Damage: Urban trees often suffer from weakened structures due to poor soil health, leaving them vulnerable to severe weather.
Urban Heat Island Effect: City surfaces like concrete and asphalt retain heat, creating hotter-than-average conditions that stress trees.
Ongoing Stress: These constant conditions make it harder for urban trees to thrive, leaving them susceptible to pests, diseases, and structural decline.

What Is the Soil Health Amendment Program?

Our new Soil Health Amendment Program focuses on addressing these challenges by improving the quality of the soil that urban trees depend on. Healthy soil is the foundation for strong, resilient trees, and this program is built around that principle.

Here’s what we offer:

Custom Organic Fertilizer Blend: Our proprietary mix of organic fertilizers is tailored to improve soil structure and health.
Micronutrient Enrichment: Trees in urban environments often lack essential micronutrients. This program ensures they get the nutrients they need for vitality.
Focus on Soil Microbial Activity: By enhancing the natural microbial life in the soil, we help urban trees access nutrients more effectively.
