Certified Arborists in Austin, TX, Wilder Tree Company, Introduces Microbial Soil Conditioning to Enhance Tree Health
Wilder Tree Company introduces microbial soil conditioning to harness the power of beneficial microorganisms for eco-friendly arboriculture.
Austin, TX, Aug. 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Microbial soil conditioning uses bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms to improve soil health and fertility. These microbes decompose organic matter, cycle nutrients, and enhance soil structure to heighten biological activity in the soil and impact tree health. Wilder Tree Company’s Arborists in Austin TX recognize the crucial link between trees and soil to offer microbial soil conditioning services that ensure a fertile environment for trees.
By introducing this service, the company seeks to harness the power of beneficial microorganisms to revolutionize tree vitality and lead the way in innovative and eco-friendly arboriculture. The tailored nutrition programs cater to trees’ needs, tackling root compaction, nutrient imbalances, and pest issues.
Property owners should consider tree and plant healthcare with microbial soil conditioning after construction/tree planting (soil disturbance depletes nutrients) or when trees in waterlogged soil need more oxygen. Additionally, high traffic and pollution can stress trees and older trees often need a nutritional boost to maintain their structural and aesthetic value.
Wilder Tree Company implements microbial soil conditioning using compost, compost teas, and commercial inoculants to kickstart the process. The team deeply understands local flora and soil conditions and creates custom deep-root fertilization programs for each tree using proprietary blends and advanced injection technology. This ensures that nutrients are delivered precisely where needed, fostering a resilient root system and a thriving canopy.
Property owners can unlock essential nutrient uptake by entrusting Tree & Plant healthcare to Wilder Tree Company. Before conditioning the soil, the arborists assess tree health to provide a tailored approach and employ sustainable practices. The team then improves the soil health, creating an ideal environment for tree growth.
Beyond microbial soil conditioning, Wilder Tree Company helps with all aspects of tree management and care, maintaining tree health, beauty, and safety through tree planting, pruning, disease diagnosis, and removal. With specialized knowledge in arboriculture, the team offers full-service solutions using tree care practices and tools generalists cannot match.
Wilder Tree Company adheres to high industry standards by employing fully licensed professionals with the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) certifications. The team ensures informed/ethical tree care practices and understands the art and science of tree health.
“A bad storm recently took down a giant limb from one of our trees. Wilder Tree Company came out the very next day to remove it. Their team worked quickly and efficiently to get things taken care of. The price was in line with what I expected…They even raked up our front lawn afterward to ensure everything looked nice…” Bee, Satisfied Client.

In a social media post, APA! wrote, “We began offering aid last night, working to secure fosters for 10 dogs in the Castroville shelter, an open-air shelter that sits at the bottom of a valley.”
APA! said the situation escalated overnight with additional shelters reporting flooding. One shelter confirmed that floodwaters reached its facility, APA! added.
Communities overwhelmed due to weather include Uvalde, Castroville and Sabinal.
The nonprofit is asking the Austin community to foster, adopt or donate to free up capacity for animals displaced by the disaster. APA! needs to clear out its facilities to assist the animals in need of shelter.
Here are ways you can help:
- Adopt: APA! is offering a “Name Your Own Adoption Fee” on all animals.
- Foster: The shelter is seeking foster homes for a minimum of three weeks.
- Donate: Proceeds will fund vans and response teams setting up a staging and triage center at the heart of the disaster zone, along with an expanded stockpile of preventatives, PPE and additional supplies.
