Oklahoma City Tree Preservation Services

Arbor Masters' tree preservation services are designed to restore your trees to their full potential, helping them recover from any issues they may be facing. Our team of experts will diagnose the problem, create a customized plan, and execute it with precision every time. To clarify what tree preservation entails, check out some of the key services we offer:

Root Flare Excavation

A tree’s root flare, where the trunk meets the roots, should be exposed to prevent damage. If it’s buried under mulch or soil, we can carefully excavate the root collar, allowing it to breathe and reducing the risk of root rot or other issues caused by suffocation.

Preconstruction Root System Protection

Construction can severely damage a tree’s roots by compacting soil or cutting into root zones. We work with contractors to mark off critical areas around your trees, minimizing the impact of construction and ensuring that your trees stay healthy during the process.

Root Pruning

Roots that begin circling around the tree’s trunk, also known as girdling roots, can choke off the tree’s ability to transport nutrients. Our root pruning service can address these harmful root patterns, giving your tree a chance to regain its health and thrive again.

Soil Aeration

We use an air spade to reduce soil compaction, which restricts root growth and access to nutrients. This tool fires compressed air into the soil, breaking it up without harming the roots, giving them space to expand and absorb water and nutrients more effectively.

  • Exposed or damaged roots: A tree with exposed or damaged roots needs immediate assistance to save it. 

  • Recent construction project near a tree: Even if you think you avoided working too close to a tree, it may be dealing with cut roots or compacted soil, necessitating help from an arborist.

Tree Preservation FAQs

Root pruning is best left to the professionals. Improper pruning can potentially kill a tree.

Soil becomes compacted when it has no more pore space available for water and air to enter. Trees in compacted soil will not be able to expand their roots effectively. 

Construction often involves heavy equipment and digging, both of which can harm a tree. Having an arborist mark off areas to avoid will protect your trees from construction damage. 

An air spade is a tool that shoots compressed air into the soil to reduce compaction while avoiding harming the roots.
