At Wilder Tree Company, we recognize the impact of soil compaction on urban trees and offer a cutting-edge solution: air spading. This non-invasive technique is crucial for maintaining tree health in areas affected by soil compaction.
Understanding Soil Compaction
Soil compaction occurs when the soil around a tree root becomes too dense, often due to heavy foot traffic or lawn maintenance. This compaction reduces the soil ability to hold air and moisture, both vital for tree health.
The Air Spading Technique
Air spading is an innovative method that uses high-pressure air jets to loosen compacted soil. This process increases the soil air and water permeability, enhancing. the trees nutrient intake. Not only is air spading safe for the tree& roots, but it also facilitates easier root inspection and potential pruning for healthier growth.
Benefits of Air Spading

Reduced Soil Compaction: The primary benefit is the significant reduction of soil compaction, allowing better water and air absorption by the roots.
Healthier Root Systems: With improved soil conditions, tree roots gain better access to essential nutrients, promoting overall tree health.
Enhanced Tree Growth: Healthier roots lead to a more vibrant canopy and increased branch growth, resulting in a fuller, more robust tree.
