Give your trees and shrubs the support they need to thrive with professional biostimulant treatments from RTEC Treecare. Our biostimulant applications support healthy root development and nutrient uptake, while helping plants better tolerate the stresses of urban and suburban landscapes.
Whether your trees are struggling with compacted soil, recovering from environmental stress, or simply need proactive care to support long-term health, our ISA-certified arborists can develop a treatment plan tailored to your landscape.
Trees and shrubs need healthy roots and soil. Unfortunately, the conditions found in many residential and commercial landscapes across the DC Metro Area can make it difficult for plants to thrive. Compacted soils, drought, and other environmental stresses can all affect root growth and overall plant health.
Often described as “multivitamins” for plants, our biostimulant treatments are designed to support the natural processes trees and shrubs use to grow and respond to stress. These treatments may help encourage root development, support beneficial soil microorganisms, and improve nutrient uptake.
Biostimulants work by supporting the natural processes that occur within plants and their root zones. Depending on the specific products used, plants being treated, and environmental conditions, they may provide several different kinds of benefits.
