Seward, known as ‘America’s Fourth of July City,’ sits along the Big Blue River and combines small-town charm with growing residential development. Yard Boss offers Seward homeowners professional deep-root fertilization services for trees, shrubs, and landscape plants. While lawn fertilization is common, trees and landscapes often go unfed despite facing the same soil challenges. The critical difference is root depth—lawn roots grow two to six inches deep where they can access surface nutrients, but tree and shrub roots extend eight to twenty-four inches or deeper where nutrient availability is severely limited. Our liquid injection system solves this by delivering complete nutrition directly to the deep root zone.
Annual deep-root fertilization provides consistent nutrition that keeps Seward trees and landscape plants thriving at their full potential. You’ll see improved leaf color and density, stronger root systems and branch structure, better disease and pest resistance, and enhanced tolerance to drought and weather stress. Fertilization helps stressed or declining plants recover while keeping healthy plants vigorous and preventing problems before they start. Our custom on-site estimates evaluate your specific plants and conditions to recommend the optimal treatment plan. This service complements our lawn fertilization program perfectly, creating complete property-wide nutrition for a professionally maintained landscape.
We use professional-grade equipment to inject liquid fertilizer eight to twelve inches below the soil surface, placing nutrients exactly where tree and shrub roots actively feed. Multiple injection points around each plant’s drip line ensure even distribution throughout the entire root zone. Our liquid formulation provides immediate nutrient availability in a complete package including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, iron, calcium, and magnesium. This method is far superior to fertilizer spikes that feed only small areas and can burn roots with concentrated nutrients. The injection process also aerates compacted soil, improving both root growth and water penetration for healthier plants overall.

Tree and landscape fertilization is available from March through November, anytime your plants are leafed out and actively taking up moisture. Spring is excellent for supporting vigorous growth during leaf development when nutrient demand peaks. Summer applications maintain healthy growth when adequate soil moisture is present. Fall fertilization helps plants store nutrients for winter and supports root growth that continues even after leaves drop. Seward clients receive text or email notification the day before scheduled service. Applications cannot happen when ground is frozen since soil penetration is impossible. Occasional weather-related rescheduling ensures optimal conditions for plant nutrient uptake.

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.
