Tree & Shrub Fertilization

Whether your trees and shrubs are new or established, they rely on soil nutrients for growth. New research has also shown the importance of adding soil microbes and organic matter to the soil to improve plant disease resistance and drought tolerance. Hertzler and George uses both a liquid foliar fertilizer and high efficiency granular fertilizer blended with our very own compost tea to provide everything your plants need.

Q&A

When should I fertilizer my trees and shrubs?

This service is best done in the spring before the new flush of growth (in our area April-May) or the late fall (October to November) so as to prevent a new growth that can not harden off before the winter.

Do I need to do anything?

After application we recommended watering the treatment into the soil. In most instances, rain will do that for you.

Will fertilizer on my plants hurt them?

The products we use are designed to be safe for plants both above and below ground.

Amazing Lawn Since 2006

We have been satisfied customers since 2006. Our front lawn is still beautiful and has been kept weed free. We especially appreciate the care  H &G takes to use treatments that do not endanger the pond and nourishes the soil.  The birds and rabbits love it.

Patio & Trash Pad

Hertzler and George – We dealt with Brian Kemp for our trash pad and rear patio. We can’t say enough how well Brian took care of us. He patiently brought samples to us, quite a few times, listened to what we needed and created a beautiful rendering, with plants that we were thrilled with. His guidance was what made this all come together seamlessly.

The crew assigned did a great job in bringing it all to life and were very careful in every step of the construction.

We would highly recommend this company for their expertise and experience with pavers.

Stress Free Experience

Over the past year, Hertzler & George has reinstalled a retaining wall, renewed the gravel on our long driveway, and taken care of weeding our flower beds during the summer months when we were away. All of the work has been well done and my wife and I are very pleased. We highly recommend Hertzler & George.

Soo happy!

We were so very pleased with our landscaping project done with H&G. They were efficient, kind, reasonable, and the end product was great! Would definitely use them again in the future!

Respectful Rejuvenation

My front and back yards are immensely improved, and all the new plants look shapely and vigorous. I especially appreciate the extra time and patience Brian Kemp took to find healthy and vigorous plants of the uncommon species I preferred for my natural woodland site; also for sending Jose and Carlos, both professional and steady workers who were courteous and responsive to my priorities. I look forward to working with Hertzler and George again in the future.
