Air Spade Services

If you own or manage a tree that:

• Has a high frequency of pedestrian and vehicular movement over the roots
• is in decline
• is suspected of having root or basal decay
• requires root pruning
• is sited over an existing or proposed service route
• needs moving

...Our Air Spade Service may be the answer.

An Air Spade is a high precision system for excavating soils. A “laser-like” jet of air is produced at approximately 1200mph which penetrates and breaks up soils without damaging tree roots or utilities.

This can be applied in a number of different ways to remediate root disorders and perform other tasks:

• Decompact soil around tree roots
• Inspect the roots or root collar where decay is suspected
• Locate roots in proximity to buildings and utilities
• Excavate trenches for utilities around tree roots
• Prevent infection of trees by Honey fungus
• Excavate semi-mature trees prior to relocating them
