Our Services >> Soil Decompaction
- VOGT Biochar injection and decompaction system
Compacted soil conditions create an inhospitable environment for the tree’s rooting system and other symbiotic organisms. Making it difficult for them to respire and function properly leading to significant poor tree health.
A trees poor health can present itself in many ways, including crown die back, small leaf growth and could allow pathogens such as honey fungus that would cause the decline or even loss of a tree.
Using our VOGT decomposition and biochar injection system we can improve soil conditions. Allowing the tree and other organisms found in the soil to recover and thrive, improving overall tree health.
- Air Spading
We are also able of offer Decomposition and soil stirring using our Air Spading system. This allows us to work in shallow or rocky soil conditions.
This system is also useful in combination with hand digging or VacEx systems allowing our operators to dig in and around tree roots causing minimal damage for the installation of services etc.
We also use this system for the investigation of buttress roots and anchor roots when the structural integrity is questioned due to the presence of fungal pathogens or damage from construction works etc.
