Soil & Lab Testing
What’s The Problem?
One of the foundations of successful tree careis knowing what you’re dealing with before you start treating. Is your soildeficient in micronutrients? Is the pH too high or too low for your trees andplants? Do you have clay soil that needs careful moisture monitoring? This iswhy we recommend soil testing before any feeding program. We use a certifiedthird-party laboratory for accurate, reliable results — and use those resultsto custom mix nutrient formulations tailored to your exact conditions.

No More Guessing
Treating a tree without testing the soil is likeprescribing medicine without a diagnosis. You might get lucky, but you mightalso waste time and money on the wrong solution. Soil testing gives us the datawe need to get it right the first time.
Certified Third-Party Lab
We use an independent, certified laboratory forall our soil and tissue testing. That means accurate, unbiased results you cancount on — and recommendations based on science, not guesswork.
Custom Nutrient Formulations
Once we have your soil results, we can customblend a nutrient formulation matched exactly to your soil’s needs. This makesour deep root feeding and foliar programs significantly more effective —because we’re feeding your trees what they actually need, not a generic mix.
Root Tissue Testing
When root rot is suspected, we send root tissueto the lab. Some fungal root rots aren’t treatable, and there’s no pointspending your resources on a treatment that won’t work. Testing tells us whatwe’re actually dealing with before we recommend a course of action.
Canker and Disease Identification
Cankers can be caused by a range of fungal andbacterial sources — and the treatment approach depends entirely on which one ispresent. We find out for sure before we make a recommendation. This protectsyour investment and gives your trees the best possible outcome.
Soil pH and Structure
pH levels and soil structure have a huge impacton what your trees can actually absorb. Even if all the right nutrients arepresent, a pH that’s off can lock them out. We assess your soil’s physical andchemical properties and recommend amendments where needed.
Loving Your Trees Means Knowing Your Trees
We believe in doing things right. That startswith understanding your soil, your trees, and your landscape before we everpick up a spray nozzle or an injection probe. It’s the Branch Out way — andit’s what separates good tree care from great tree care.
