We're proud to be featured in Omaha Magazine's Faces of Omaha 2023 edition!

Arbor Aesthetics founders Jeff and Amy Grewe have seen much growth since they started the business in 2005, and not just the botanical kind. The company and its team of certified arborists dedicated to the health, beauty, and safety of trees are thriving. 

“As our company has grown, Amy and I have stepped out of our roles in operations and more into visionary roles, which has created opportunities for our team to fill that void and create leaders,” Jeff said. 

The company started out with a focus on residential clientele. Arbor Aesthetics is continuing in that niche, but the company’s services are also expanding into another sector. 

“We’re starting to move more into a commercial space, working for apartment complexes, business complexes, and other class-A commercial and retail businesses,” Amy said. “We’ve really honed in on what makes us Omaha’s premier residential provider, and now we want more commercial clients to discover the high level of service that’s available to them when they invest in a professional, reliable outfit.” 

Spring is the crucial time to fertilize your trees. We offer deep root fertilization service by injecting the water-soluble formula 6-8" deep all throughout the root zone using a soil probe. We use a high quality formula containing nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium to boost soil fertility. The fertilizer also contains beneficial bacteria and an organic nutrient complex to sustain long term fertility.

Benefits of Deep Root Fertilization:

1. Improved Growth: Spring fertilization helps trees grow more quickly, produce more foliage, and develop stronger root systems.
2. Better Resistance to Stress: Trees that receive adequate nutrition are better able to withstand stressors like drought, disease, and pest infestations.
3. Enhanced Bloom and Fruiting: Trees that are well-nourished are more likely to produce abundant flowers and fruit. 
4. Improved Soil Health: The nutrients in the fertilizer will be taken up by the roots and then released back into the soil, feeding the beneficial microbes that live there.

Over the last several years, we have placed an emphasis on cultivating an open and honest work environment in which our people thrive as individuals and professionals. Vulnerability is at the heart of our ethos and we believe it's what makes Arbor Aesthetics, well - Arbor Aesthetics.

Winter burn to plants can occur in winter when water is lost from the needles to the air. On a nice summer day, this water loss is replaced from the soil, but in winter with frozen grounds, this isn’t possible. We see evergreens with needles turning brown on the margins, or in more serious cases entire needles dying. Because evergreens don’t just readily produce new needles quickly, this damage can disfigure, or even kill these plants. This can be more extreme for plants more exposed to winds, those near roads (as there is also water loss from road salt), as well as those close to the home (the house itself gives off heat, and on the sides of the plant closest to the  house, this winter burn effect is more extreme).

​Additionally, it is not always the extreme cold years that do this. The winter of 2021/2022 we saw a lot of ornamental trees and shrubs die from the abnormally warm temperatures and lack of soil moisture due to very little snow/rainfall.
