What is Air Spading?

Air spading is a specialized technique used by professional arborists to expose a tree’s root flare and aerate roots that have been buried underground. When the root flare is covered by dirt or mulch for extended periods, soil aeration becomes essential to maintaining the tree’s health. Without proper oxygen and nutrients, buried roots can lead to decay, even in an otherwise healthy tree, increasing the risk of tree death or hazardous conditions requiring removal.

While a tree may look healthy on the surface, the condition of its roots can tell a different story. If a tree’s roots are completely buried, it may need assistance through root excavation. At Tree Service Atlanta, we use cutting-edge air spading technique to uncover parts of the root system that have been buried under soil, mulch, or other debris. The section where the trunk transitions into the root system is known as the root flare, and it is vital that this part remains visible above ground. If the root flare is hidden and the trunk appears to disappear directly into the soil, excavation is often necessary to ensure long-term tree health and safety.

With well-prepared soil, we increase the success rate of planting and transplanting, ensuring that new plants can flourish in their new locations.

Preparing for Professional Air Spading Services with Tree Service Atlanta

If you’re looking to improve the health of your trees, enhance your landscape design, transplant existing trees, or add a structure near a tree’s root system, professional air spading services from Tree Service Atlanta may be exactly what you need. To ensure the best results, it’s essential to take a few steps to prepare before our team arrives.

  • Water the Soil: We recommend watering the soil a day or two before the service. Moist soil is easier to work with during air spading, speeding up the process and reducing strain on the tree’s roots.
  • Clear Surrounding Plants: Remove any flowers, shrubs, grass, or other plant matter near the base of the trees to be treated. This will ensure that the process goes smoothly without damaging nearby plants.
  • Prepare for Noise: Air spading requires the use of an air compressor, which can be quite loud. If you have small children or pets, consider making arrangements so they aren’t disturbed. If you plan to be nearby during the service, we recommend using ear protection.

With these simple preparations, you can help us ensure your trees receive the best care possible.
