MD Licensed Tree Experts
ISA Certified Arborists
In nature, trees thrive without our help—thanks to rich, undisturbed soils, consistent leaf litter, and a web of natural processes that recycle nutrients. But in residential and urban landscapes, the story is different. Years of foot traffic, heavy equipment, and routine leaf removal leave the soil compacted, depleted, and disconnected from the cycles that keep forest trees healthy.
Restore the natural nutrient cycle at home
In forests, fallen leaves decompose naturally, enriching the soil with organic matter and nutrients. In most residential yards, however, this process is disrupted—leaves are cleared, lawns are compacted, and trees are left to grow in nutrient-poor, oxygen-starved soil. Our organic soil treatments restore the natural cycle by reintroducing essential nutrients and improving soil structure, creating healthier conditions for root development.
Relieve stress from years of ground pressure
Driveways, mowers, and foot traffic compress soil over time—especially in busy areas. In Maryland, where acidic soil is common, compaction further limits root access to water, oxygen, and nutrients. Our Organic Soil Treatments introduce pH-balancing amendments to neutralize acidity, improve structure, and create a healthier, more supportive root zone.
Feed roots with natural, soil-enriching inputs
Healthy roots depend on more than just nutrients—they need a thriving underground ecosystem. Our organic soil treatments reintroduce essential microorganisms that break down organic matter, unlock nutrients, and promote healthier root function. We apply compost blends, humic acids, and organic amendments that improve soil texture, enhance drainage, and increase nutrient availability. These natural inputs not only feed your trees but also condition the soil, creating the right environment for long-term health and resilience.
Build stronger defenses against stress and decline
Prestige offers a full range of chemical treatments for trees and shrubs. Our arborists can come to inspect your tree or trees, and work with you to create a plan to ensure their long term health. We can identify and treat a wide range of pests from common insects to fungi and everything in between. Biotic (or living) pests are often tolerable at low levels, and pose no risk to healthy trees. However, arborist intervention is needed if pest populations get too high, invasive species are present, or some ecological imbalance is upsetting the natural order in or around your trees.

Healthy trees start with healthy soil. In natural forests, trees thrive because soils are rich with organic matter, leaf litter, and beneficial microorganisms. In urban and residential landscapes, those natural cycles are disrupted. Compaction, routine leaf removal, and depleted soils leave trees stressed and vulnerable to pests and disease. That is where our Organic Soil Treatments come in, restoring balance and creating the conditions trees need to grow strong.
Every tree is different, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to soil nutrition. According to the University of Maryland Extension, proper fertilization depends on factors such as soil pH, nutrient availability, and the overall condition of the tree. Fertilizer is not a quick fix for every problem, but when applied correctly, it is one of the most effective ways to strengthen trees, correct deficiencies, and improve resilience.
That is where Prestige Tree Experts comes in. Our ISA Certified Arborists evaluate your soil, identify nutrient imbalances, and apply organic treatments designed to restore health and vigor. We use slow-release nutrients, compost blends, and natural amendments that build healthier soils, encourage stronger root systems, and improve overall tree performance. By tailoring each application, we ensure your trees get exactly what they need for long-term growth and protection.
Restore Natural Cycles: Replace missing organic matter with compost and leaf-based inputs that mimic the forest floor.
Relieve Compaction: Break up hardened soils and balance pH so roots can access oxygen, water, and nutrients.
Support Root Nutrition: Use natural amendments and beneficial microorganisms to strengthen root systems.
Encourage Long-Term Resilience: Build stronger trees that can better resist pests, disease, and environmental stress.
When it comes to soil treatments, success depends on precision. Too little nutrition leaves trees stressed and vulnerable, while too much wastes resources and can create imbalances. At Prestige Tree Experts, our Certified Arborists take the guesswork out of fertilization. We use targeted applications, organic blends, and slow-release nutrients that feed your trees steadily and safely.
