Start Tree Care from the Ground Up
Did you know that a huge percentage of your tree's mass may lie underground? Roots suck up a lot of water and nutrients to keep a tree stable. That’s why it’s extremely important to keep roots healthy, because they’re at the heart of your tree’s health.

IS YOUR TREE FUNCTIONING PROPERLY?
As much as 40% of a tree’s mass can lie underground in the form of roots. This lack of visibility often causes homeowners and tree workers to overlook the roots’ presence and importance in a trees physiology. Roots provide numerous services to the tree, including nutrient storage, water, nutrient uptake, anchorage, and a surface besides the leaves for air exchange. Make sure your tree's roots are taken care of properly!

WHAT WE DO
Using a specialized air nozzle and compressor called an air spade, we can excavate the earth without causing damage to the roots — which is often a problem when using larger equipment. The air spade can be used to conduct an exploratory excavation looking for things like conduit and pipes, or for finding gas lines. Using an air space instead of digging with heavy machinery for these purposes can save nearby plants from damage and not cause undue damage to the property that other equipment such as excavators certainly would.
