With trees that nice ~ I take it that’s not weed & feed

One wonders however how deep the roots are going to find nutriment.

Mine might get water deep … but they can feed pretty shallow as I turned around the heath of a couple species with shallow application of granulated fertilizer ~ especially if they were in need of zinc or something specific besides just N2 = what grass fertilizer is known for …

I don't use fertilizer or any chemicals in my yard for that fact but my equipment is not green for that fact. I did chose a more green alternative called horse manure when i reseeded my yard after leveling with it. Results are amazing compared to expensive chemicals no weed and feed no fertilizer no lime or calcium just results.
Uh huh my mower does decorative stripes but no striping kit on it either.
