We'll inject compressed air into the ground to loosen hard, compacted soil around your trees.

At JC Bowers Landscaping & Tree Services, we offer root collar excavation to bolster the overall health of your trees! Also known as the root crown, it's the part where the trunk rises from its root system. However, compacted soil can hinder proper air circulation, sunlight accessibility, and water drainage. With root collar excavation, our experts can safely and precisely inject compressed air into the ground to loosen hard, compacted soil around your tree's root collar. Then, once we do that, we'll thoroughly examine it and prune away any harmful roots. This process needs to be done correctly for optimal results, and with our certified arborists looking after your trees, you can trust that we have the skills and know-how to ensure that.

Our Root Collar Excavation Process

When your tree's root collar is covered with compacted soil, it can prevent airflow, sunlight accessibility, and water drainage. As a result, they can't access the resources they need, and overly damp, moist conditions can harm them and lead to fungal growth. Fortunately, that's where root collar excavation comes in! Our experts will follow a comprehensive process to safely and precisely uncover the root crown. To do this, we'll inject compressed air into the ground, which will loosen the hard, packed layer around your trees. This method is highly effective at remedying the issues that come with soil compaction and will allow us to avoid harming the root system.


Once we clear your tree's root collar, we'll examine it and prune away any harmful roots.

Upon uncovering your tree's root collar, we'll thoroughly examine it for signs of harmful root growth. If we find any girdling or adventitious roots, our team will prune them away. Girdling roots grow next to the trunk and can eventually suffocate your tree, while adventitious roots sprout from non-root tissue as a response to stress but can equally harm it. By removing these problematic parts, we can ensure your trees have only healthy, beneficial roots for the best chance of survival.

We'll recommend a tree care regimen to get your trees back to good health if we notice any diseases, deadwood, or insect infestations after root collar excavation.
