Soil compaction, sandy, infertile soils, improper mulching, and trunk flare disorders often prevent newly-installed landscape plants from flourishing and cause premature death of established trees. We use a variety of the latest tools and tactics for root zone remediation in Holliston, MA to help solve these landscape issues.
This method is also called air spading or air tilling. It utilizes a pneumatic tool to expose buried trunk flares and root collar deformities with pressurized air. It’s known for being gentle, posing little risk to the tree roots. With this technique and technology, our arborists can pinpoint, diagnose, and treat issues before they become untreatable.
Soil aeration is crucial for the health of the soil to allow plants to grow. It uses compressed air to break up soils compacted by construction activity, vehicles – even foot traffic, and allows for more oxygen and nutrients to reach the roots. This will improve how effectively nutrients are absorbed by the roots due to the increase in oxygen. Additionally, well-oxygenated soil is important to prevent diseases in the root like rot.
We integrate compost deep into the soil profile to improve water retention and long-term fertility. Compost can cause improvements in the structure of the soil, which allows it to hold more water and allow for increased plant growth. It also supports the growth of microbes that help get rid of contaminants.
When surface mulching, we will add a layer of mulch to make the conditions of the soil more conducive to growth. We use our patented Forest Floor Mulch® Mix to protect the root zone, aid in water absorption, and restore the nutrient cycling process. Surface mulching also regulates temperature, mitigates the risk of weed overgrowth, and adds visual interest to your landscaping.
The root zone is the part of the soil that roots touch where they can absorb all the key nutrients they need to survive, in addition to oxygen and water. This area is critical for the long-term health and stability of the tree structure. Think of it as the foundation upon which the entire tree rests. As much as 50% of your tree is below ground – take care of it!
