Ketchums Professional Tree & Landscaping | New Port Richey Tree Care & Lawn Services

Our landscape maintenance program includes specialized salt-tolerant plant selection, proper irrigation scheduling to flush salt from soil, and targeted soil amendments that counteract salt accumulation. We also implement protective barriers and strategic planting locations to shield sensitive plants from salt spray, which is particularly important for properties near the coast in New Port Richey.

Regular tree health assessments are crucial to detect early salt stress symptoms. We provide protective anti-desiccant sprays, proper pruning to reduce salt exposure, and deep root fertilization with salt-neutralizing amendments. For New Port Richey properties, we also recommend selecting salt-tolerant tree species and implementing proper irrigation to leach salts from the root zone.

We start with soil testing to identify salt accumulation or nutrient imbalances, then implement a customized program including proper aeration, overseeding with salt-tolerant grass varieties, and targeted fertilization. Our approach includes adjusting irrigation schedules to prevent salt buildup while ensuring adequate moisture, plus regular maintenance to promote thick, healthy turf that resists patchiness.
