The Air Spade: Exciting New Technology

The air spade is a state-of-the-art excavation tool revolutionizing tree care today. It uses large volumes of compressed air to remove and break up soil—even hard clay—without damaging roots, cables, or buried utility lines. The focused air streams quickly and accurately through the soil in considerably less time than conventional digging, allowing for more efficient service.

Why Air Spade?

Immediate visual inspection and correction of specific plant health concerns
Quick, accurate diagnosis of plant diseases and the extent of decay without extensive root system damage
One-step aeration and soil replacement to reduce soil compaction resulting from such things as construction
Trench with minimum disturbance of roots during utility or construction projects
Transplant experts andartistryees and shrubs without damaging the root system
Air spading can accurately reveal the cause of declining plant health in an otherwise healthy row of trees or shrubs

Insect and Disease Management

Hundreds of insects and diseases damage landscape plants' leaves, stems, branches, roots, flowers, and fruit. However, not all insects and diseases on trees and shrubs are damaging. Some insects are beneficial and may help pollinate flowers or could be predators or parasites on insects that damage plants. Our technicians are trained to identify these valuable insects and mites correctly and can devise effective management programs that protect landscape plants from severe damage while conserving beneficial organisms.

Root Fertilization

Healthy plants start with good soil. Because of limited root space and poor soil conditions, trees in urban settings often require deep root fertilization. By introducing fertilizer to your soil, we provide your trees and shrubs with the nutrients they need to prepare them for the upcoming growing season and attain their total growth and aesthetic potential. This procedure will preserve the beauty, strength, and longevity of your trees and shrubs. Well-nourished trees and shrubs resist insects, disease, or environmental stresses better.

Resistograph

Our unique testing instrument detects and locates internal defects in trees that often cannot be seen from the exterior. With the seismograph, you will get detailed information about the inside of the tree by measuring the drilling resistance within the wood. The instrument works precisely and fast and does not harm the tree.
