PLANT Pruning

The right tools are useful for many jobs

The air compressor and hand tools that our technicians have access to — combined with their skills and experience — can be utilized in many different situations.

Tree Transplanting

Whether a tree needs to be moved to a new location or removed entirely, an air knife can be a critical tool in the process. For transplanting, the air knife can be used to carefully excavate the tree's root system — minimizing damage and ensuring that the tree can successfully establish itself in its new location.

Root Collar Excavation

Root collar excavation is an important process in arboriculture that involves uncovering the root flare of a tree. This is often necessary when soil, mulch, or other materials have been piled up against the trunk of the tree, obscuring the root collar and potentially causing health problems for the tree.

Root Pruning

Root pruning is a technique used by arborists to encourage a tree's root system to grow in a more compact, efficient manner. This is particularly beneficial when preparing a tree for transplanting, as it can help to reduce the shock of the move.

What Exactly Is an AirSpade?

AirSpade technology harnesses compressed air to excavate soil efficiently. An air compressor directs a high-velocity stream of air through a nozzle to dislodge compacted soil and medium-sized stones. 

The AirSpade pneumatic soil excavation method targets the removal of excess soil without applying physical force to the surrounding area. As a result, this technique allows for a more precise level of excavation within dense soil layers.

Why Are AirSpades Great For Tree Care?

Safe for Roots

AirSpade services are a safe way to expose root systems. Because the technology uses air pressure to remove soil around the roots delicately it ensures that the integrity of the root system remains intact.

Unlike traditional digging methods that can cut and tear sensitive root tissues, this method minimizes the risk of damaging the root collar. Consequently, AirSpades promote healthier tree care by preserving important root structures during soil aeration and root pruning processes.

Safe for Underground Utilities

The safe and precise nature of AirSpades is also particularly advantageous when working near underground utilities. Pneumatic soil excavation tools can loosen and remove soil around buried utility lines without damaging them by accident. As such, AirSpades are the preferred tool for projects close to vulnerable underground lines.

Faster Than Traditional Methods

AirSpades are much faster than traditional excavation methods due to their ability to rapidly excavate soil through directed air pressure. This method eliminates the need for manual digging and reduces the sometimes exhaustive labor needed for soil removal. 

AirSpades efficiently penetrate compacted soil and allow for quicker access to tree roots. This speed makes the technology well-suited for projects requiring swift and effective soil management.
