Advanced Preservation Services for Heritage & Estate Trees

At Arbor Masters, we understand that preserving trees is more than just keeping them alive. It involves taking proactive steps to address the root causes of tree decline and promote their overall well-being. Our team offers a range of specialized services to ensure your trees thrive for years to come.

Air Spading

This minimally invasive technique uses compressed air to gently remove soil from around the tree's roots, which can be beneficial for trees damaged by construction or excavation.

Root Flare Excavation

We carefully expose the base of the tree's trunk to assess root health and address issues like girdling roots or shallow root systems.

Girdling Root Removal

Girdling roots can restrict a tree's growth and nutrient uptake. Our arborists can carefully prune these roots to improve the tree's health and vitality.

Pre-Construction Root Protection

If you're planning construction or excavation near your trees, we can implement protective measures to minimize damage to the root system.

Aeration

Compacted soil can hinder a tree's ability to absorb essential nutrients, water, and oxygen. Our aeration services can help to improve soil structure.

When to Consider Scheduling Tree Preservation Services

If you notice any of the following signs, it's recommended to consult with a Certified Arborist for a thorough evaluation:

  • Visible Root Damage: This can include exposed roots, girdling roots (roots that wrap around the trunk), or damaged root flares.

  • Leaning or Unstable Trees: Trees that are leaning or have noticeable instability may have compromised root systems.

  • Stunted Growth or Dieback: Reduced growth, yellowing leaves, or dying branches can indicate underlying problems with the root system.

  • Soil Compaction: Hardened or compacted soil can restrict root growth and nutrient uptake.

  • Construction Damage: If your trees have been affected by recent construction or excavation, their root systems may be damaged.

Fully Explained Everything

“Did a great job of reviewing my trees with me and letting me know what sorts of things needed to be done with them, fully explained everything so that I could have a complete understanding.  The crew that came to do the work did a great job as well and were very friendly...They also had me look at the work after it was done to make sure there was nothing else that I thought needed to be done, which was appreciated.”
