Soil & Root Health

Root Collar Excavation

The Symptoms

Trees that have been planted too deeply or suffer from “volcano mulching” (mulch piled high against the trunk). This leads to bark rot and the formation of girdling roots that choke the tree’s vascular system.

Our Treatment Protocol

1. Diagnosis & Assessment

Our certified arborists inspect the tree to confirm the presence of the pathogen or pest, evaluate the overall vigor of the tree, and determine if it is a viable candidate for treatment.

2. Targeted Application

We use a specialized pneumatic air spade to safely blast away excess soil and mulch from the base of the trunk without damaging the root system. This exposes the root flare, allowing the tree to breathe and preventing fatal decay.

3. Ongoing Monitoring

We schedule your property in our system based on the required frequency (e.g., Annual, Bi-Annual) to ensure the protection barrier never drops.
