Wilber, known as the ‘Czech Capital of Nebraska,’ celebrates its heritage with annual festivals while serving as a hub for surrounding agricultural areas. Yard Boss brings professional deep-root fertilization to Wilber trees, shrubs, and landscape plants. Most homeowners fertilize their lawns regularly but neglect trees and landscapes, even though these plants face the same or worse soil conditions with an added challenge. Tree and shrub roots extend eight to twelve inches deep or more, far below where surface nutrients are accessible. Our specialized liquid injection system delivers complete nutrition directly to the deep root zone where your plants can actually absorb and use it for optimal health and growth.
Wilber homeowners invest significantly in their trees and landscape plants. Annual deep-root fertilization protects these valuable assets by providing nutrition for thriving rather than just surviving. You’ll see improved leaf color and density, stronger root and branch development, better disease and pest resistance, and enhanced stress tolerance. Even healthy-looking plants benefit from proper feeding, maintaining vigor and preventing decline before visible symptoms appear. Mature trees add tremendous property value, and fertilization maintains their long-term health. Our custom on-site estimates assess your specific landscape to create the optimal treatment plan. Combine this with our landscape weed control for complete bed care.
Our fertilization service uses professional-grade equipment to inject liquid fertilizer eight to twelve inches below the soil surface. We create multiple injection points evenly distributed around each plant’s drip line, ensuring uniform nutrient coverage throughout the active root zone. The liquid formulation includes all essential nutrients—nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, iron, calcium, and magnesium—in immediately available form. This approach is far more effective than fertilizer spikes that only feed small concentrated areas and risk burning roots with excessive nutrient concentration. The high-pressure injection also aerates compacted soil, creating better growing conditions for roots and improving water movement through the soil.

We provide tree and landscape fertilization from March through November whenever plants are actively growing and taking up moisture. Spring applications support vigorous leaf development during the season’s highest nutrient demand. Summer treatments maintain healthy growth when soil has adequate moisture. Fall fertilization helps plants store nutrients for winter while supporting continued root growth. Wilber clients receive notification the day before their scheduled service via text or email. Applications cannot happen when the ground is frozen since soil penetration becomes impossible. Occasional weather-related rescheduling ensures optimal conditions for effective nutrient absorption by your plants.

Fertilization supports healthy, vigorous growth but won't make trees grow unnaturally fast. What you'll see is:
The goal is healthy, sustainable growth—not forced rapid growth that can weaken plants.
We recommend annual fertilization for most trees and landscape plants. Here's why:
During your site estimate, we'll assess your specific plants and recommend the optimal fertilization schedule.
Yes! While lawn fertilizer provides some surface nutrients, it doesn't reach the deep root zone where trees feed. Our deep-root injection delivers nutrients 8-12 inches deep, exactly where tree roots can access them. Trees in lawns still benefit significantly from dedicated tree fertilization.
Even healthy-looking trees benefit from fertilization. Just like a healthy person still needs good nutrition, healthy trees maintain their vigor with proper feeding. Benefits include:
Our liquid fertilizer is applied below ground level through injection. Once applied, it's immediately absorbed into the root zone. No need to wait to be in the lawn after the application.
Fertilization can help stressed or declining trees recover by providing the nutrients they need to strengthen their defenses. However, it's not a cure for disease or severe damage. During the site assessment, we'll evaluate the tree's condition and provide honest recommendations. Some trees may need additional treatments (such as disease management or pest control) or may be too far gone to save.
Yes. We will concentrate the root injections on the edge of the rootball and just outside of the root ball to promote root spread.
