Tree Root Surgery

Tree roots are the foundation of every tree. They bring not only all the water up for the tree but they anchor the tree to give support during wind storms and are a direct reflection of how healthy your tree looks at top. When trees develop poor root systems, when they are young, or when they are older because they were buried, later it can become a problem. And at times puts the tree into decline. We perform root surgery otherwise known as Root Collar Excavation to save the tree and correct any root issues at the cause. Instead of irrigating more or injecting the tree more with fertilizer, we work with the tree (focusing on their roots) for several years with a treatment plan to get it back to health and on its own.

Common Tree Root Problems

Urban spaces and large trees can go together. Depending on the type of tree you have and how far the root issue has been going on, it can be resolved. Provide an annual program for up to two year taking each step to better health. A plan to save your tree seeing how the tree responds after each treatment and slowly seeing the tree come back to life.

It’s time to put an end to the confusion and uncertainty and welcome a new era of trust, knowledge, and expert guidance.

Improper Tree Planting

Many times trees are not taking advantage of correcting roots at time of planting. When a root ball is exposed we recommend root pruning and correcting circling or girdling roots at the surface. Best way to fix roots is when they are out of the ground. And remove excess soil found in most B&B or containerized tree.

Limited Root Spaces

Often in our urban landscapes trees are confined to a small space and expected to grow and thrive when they can’t. Treatments with a Tree Growth Regulator (TGR) are great option to reduce up to 70% of the growth each year to stay close to the size when the treatment is performed while also saving you on pruning your trees often.

Buried Roots or Volcano Mulching

No one likes to see a large mature live oak with dieback or decline. For many years tree roots can be buried and be unnoticed for any decline to show up in the canopy. Some trees can be corrected, earlier the better, and some cannot. Keeping a tree for a long time in an urban space is all about the roots and how to manage a large tree with other landscape plants in a less than ideal urban space.
