Have you been struggling to grow a lush garden or a modest tree or two? If your plants don’t take root in a healthy environment, their chances of survival are very slim. So, if you’re looking for tips on tree and shrub care in Boca Raton, FL, we at East Coast Sprayers have you covered.    

Tree and Shrub Care Boca Raton FL

What Inhibits Tree and Shrub Growth?  

Living in Delray or Boca Raton, FL, can be a nightmare for even the most experienced green thumbs. Many folks who are new to Florida lack the knowledge to compensate for the lower mineral and nutrient levels in sand-based soils.  

While some plants growsgrow abundantly in nature without intervention, homeowners can have a slightly more challenging time. Home foundations typically rest on fill sand that is compacted to the density of cement. Without proper fertilization efforts, the time and energy spent planting can be overrun by this unideal environment. 

What is Professional Tree and Shrub Care?  

Professional tree and shrub services require an expert understanding of Terra Firma. Here are several common problems we see with South Floridian yards:  

  • Limestone in soil raises the Alkalinity levels (Miami over 7.5 on a 0-14 scale)  
  • High amounts of “sugar sand”  
  • Low retention of water and nutrients  

Despite these common issues, no two yards are the same.  With the knowledge of East Coast Sprayers, let’s take a look at how we can partner to flourish your greenery.

Fertilizers provide the soil with nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium–these elements are crucial for healthy, thriving plant life. 

Nitrogen

Added nitrogen stimulates the growth of stems, flowers, and fruit faster than a plant normally would in the wild. Because of the growth explosion caused by proper nitrogen levels, your plants will be fuller and lusher, the envy of your neighbors.  

Phosphorus

Phosphorus helps plants to take root more securely. This nutrient promotes the production of oils and starches, which directly affects the growth of their roots, making them healthier than ever.  

Potassium

Lastly, potassium serves three crucial roles in development: 

  1. Builds protein 
  2. Fights disease 
  3. Promotes chlorophyll production. 

Lacking potassium can lower the effects of photosynthesis, draining your plant life of energy.  

Any imbalance of these critical nutrients will result in some very sad shrubs. While they all have their unique tolerances, our team can better position your soil to accommodate any plant or tree you wish to grow.

Why do ornamental trees and shrubs need care?

Providing these plants with proper fertilization and pest control will help them thrive on your property.

 

What care do trees and shrubs require?

 

Most of the ornamental trees and shrubs found in Palm Beach County require monthly care. Fertilization of your soil is crucial to maintaining a proper pH – giving your plants the best ability absorb nutrients and fight off disease. Applying both liquid and granular fertilizer can be the most effective way to feed your trees and shrubs.
