Embark embraces and promotes organic arboriculture in our region of the country. A few of the specific certified organic treatments that we provide include:

Compost Tea: Our compost tea applications reintroduce beneficial microbes into your soil. Both bacterial and fungal agents promote a healthier soil ecology, resulting in more readily available nutrients and increased water retention during period of drought.

Liquid Organic Fertilization: We have learned that many of today's synthetic fertilizers are basically microbe killing salts. Although these produce a temporary greening affect in our trees, they also leave our soils depleted of vital microbial activities and can cause trees to be "addicted" to fertilizer.

An organic approach focuses on soil vitality by applying nutrients in the proper form while increasing microbial activity at the same time. The more microbes present in a soil, the more effective a tree can metabolize nutrients.

Mycorrhizal Fungi: In a forest setting, trees attract beneficial fungi called Mycorrhizae. Together, a tree's root system and these fungi create a symbiotic relationship whereby root mass is increased. The result is more efficient water and nutrient uptake as well as a more securely anchored tree.
