Fertilizers

At Glass Tree Care & Spray Service, our Fertilizer service provides the proper nutrients to lawns, trees, shrubs, flowers, and gardens. We believe in a personalized approach, analyzing the specific requirements of each area to provide the proper nutrients and care. 

Our fertilization programs promote healthy growth, ensuring lush green lawns, vibrant flowers, and robust trees and shrubs. We use high-quality fertilizers tailored to the local soil conditions, climate, and plant types, creating an optimal environment for growth. 

Lawns require a large amount of nutrients and water to maintain their health and vigor throughout the year. Three main macronutrients are used in lawn fertilizer: nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. It’s best to apply this treatment in the spring and fall when the grass grows and absorbs nutrients. Through our fertilization program, your outdoor space can achieve excellent turf indefinitely and maintain healthy soil microbe populations. 

Enhance the vitality of your trees and shrubs with a routine fertilizer program. When treated with nitrogen fertilizer, these plants experience accelerated growth, developing a denser canopy of leaves and branches while maintaining vibrant greenery well into the fall. Before fertilization, we assess the growth patterns, color, and recent issues like diseases or pests affecting trees and shrubs. Our unique approach includes various delivery methods, and we take pride in being the exclusive Lane County professional spray service offering the precise Tree Injection method, minimizing unwanted spread that can occur with traditional spraying techniques. 

Our Flower Fertilizer service enhances the well-being of your annuals and perennials. Fertilizing these plants promotes larger blooms, extended blooming seasons, and overall better health. While some flowers, like nasturtiums, may not require regular additional fertilizer, most, especially annuals, benefit significantly from tailored nutrient plans. Annuals destined for abundant blooms thrive on phosphorus, promoting healthy roots, disease resistance, and optimal blooming. Our specialized approach considers the unique needs of each flower type, ensuring a vibrant and flourishing garden. 

Prepare your garden for a thriving summer by applying a well-balanced fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in the previous fall or winter. This strategic timing ensures dividends in the next growing season. To release nutrients slowly into the soil over winter, cover the fertilized area with a thick mulch or cardboard. For cold-weather or early-season crops with short seasons, minimal fertilization is needed if the soil was enriched in winter. If not, consider a faster-acting fertilizer before planting or sowing seeds. Summer vegetables, particularly corn and tomatoes, demand ample nutrients, with nitrogen crucial for flavorful fruit production. Navigate challenges like high heat or low water conditions by providing accessible nutrients to your plants. 

In Eugene, a general guideline is to fertilize in early spring and late fall. However, individual needs vary, and adjusting based on a soil test is advisable. Over-fertilization can lead to issues, so a balanced approach with the proper nutrients is crucial.

The best time to start a fertilizer program for Eugene's climate is typically in early spring. This allows nutrients to support the initial growth phase. However, a soil test can provide specific recommendations based on your garden's needs. 

Eugene's soil composition varies, but balanced fertilizers with a mix of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK) work well. Look for formulations tailored for the Pacific Northwest, considering factors like soil acidity and organic content.
