Root
and Soil Invigoration
Soil compaction, improper mulching, and trunk flare disorders
can prevent woody plants from flourishing and lead to
premature death of established trees. We use a variety
of the latest tools and tactics to help solve these landscape
issues.
Soil Compaction
Healthy soil is a composite of mineral particles, organic
matter, water, and air. It also contains a "living element"
that includes thousands of species of bacteria, fungi,
insects, and worms. This living element is responsible
for breaking down the organic matter in the soil, releasing
the trapped nutrients that nourish plants. Soil microbes
and the tree roots that they "feed" require adequate moisture
and air for optimum growth and development. Construction
equipment, vehicular and pedestrian traffic, and even
lawnmower use can compact the soil structure resulting
in sterile, droughty soils that can't support healthy
microbial populations.
Aerating the soil and incorporating additional organic
matter in the form of compost, and applying a layer of mulch can restore vitality to
the soil and the tree roots that are living in it.
