Boosting Tree Health from Below Ground: The Power of Bio-Stimulants
At Edmonds Tree & Landscape Service, we know that healthy trees start below the surface. In Central Ohio, where compacted soils and urban stressors challenge tree growth, our bio-stimulant treatments provide a science-based solution to support tree health, improve vigor, and reduce long-term maintenance needs.
What is a Bio-Stimulant and Why Does It Matter?
A bio-stimulant enhances the natural biological processes in the soil, promoting stronger root development, better nutrient absorption, and increased drought tolerance. Unlike traditional fertilizers, which supply nutrients directly, bio-stimulants improve the soil environment so that trees can access what they need naturally.
Our blend includes humates, organic materials, and biochar. This powerful mix feeds beneficial soil microbes and provides essential pore space for root growth, improving overall soil health.
In urban areas like Powell, Ohio, trees often struggle due to poor soil quality caused by construction, compaction, and lack of organic matter. Our bio-stimulant treatment addresses these issues by fostering a healthier root zone, giving trees the support they need to thrive.
How Bio-Stimulants Improve Tree Health
1. Encouraging Root Growth
Strong roots are essential for a healthy tree. Bio-stimulants stimulate the growth of fine feeder roots, which are responsible for taking in water and nutrients.
2. Improving Soil Structure
Compacted soils make it difficult for roots to expand and absorb what they need. Our treatment helps loosen the soil, improving aeration and water movement.
3. Enhancing Nutrient Availability
Even nutrient-rich soils can be difficult for trees to utilize if the soil structure is poor. Bio-stimulants activate beneficial soil microbes, making nutrients more accessible to tree roots.
4. Increasing Drought Resistance
With a well-developed root system and healthier soil, trees can retain moisture more efficiently, helping them withstand dry periods.
5. Reducing Stress from Pests and Disease
Healthier trees are naturally more resilient. By improving overall vigor, bio-stimulants reduce the chances of pest infestations and diseases taking hold.
Why Bio-Stimulants Are Essential for Central Ohio Trees
Trees in Central Ohio face unique challenges due to urban development. Heavy machinery compacts the soil, and topsoil is often stripped away, leaving behind poor-quality, lifeless soil. Our bio-stimulant treatments bring life back to the soil, creating an environment where trees can grow strong and healthy, just as they would in their natural forest setting.
A Proactive Approach to Tree Care
At Edmonds Tree & Landscape Service, we believe in proactive, science-based care. Our bio-stimulant treatments are part of our broader Plant Health Care Management Program, which focuses on building tree vigor and reducing the need for reactive treatments like pesticides and intensive maintenance.
By improving soil health, we help your trees take care of themselves—saving you time, money, and adding longterm value.
