Root Cellar Excavation
At RTEC Treecare, we provide professional root cellar excavation services designed to restore your tree’s health by uncovering and addressing hidden threats to its root system.
Preserve Tree Health with Root Cellar Excavation
The root cellar, also known as the root flare, is a fundamental part of your tree’s anatomy and plays an important role in its health. When buried under soil, mulch, or debris, it can suffocate the tree, retain harmful moisture, and lead to significant health problems. RTEC Treecare specializes in expertly uncovering root cellars to promote tree vitality and longevity.
Our Root Cellar Excavation Services
Our team of certified arborists use advanced techniques to excavate root cellars, inspect root systems, and recommend customized solutions for tree health restoration.
Uncover and Restore the Root Flare Zone
Using air compression tools, we gently remove soil and debris from the root cellar to promote proper oxygen flow and moisture balance around the tree’s base.
Inspect for Girdling and Adventitious Roots
Our team identifies and removes harmful girdling roots that strangle trees and adventitious roots that indicate stress or improper planting depth.
Assess and Address Root Health Issues
We examine root systems for signs of damage, decay, or improper growth, providing targeted treatments to support recovery and long-term health.
Diagnose Disease, Deadwood, and Infestations
Trees with buried root cellars are more vulnerable to pests, diseases, and structural instability. We offer diagnostic services to identify and resolve these issues.
Recommend Comprehensive Treatment Plans
Following excavation, our arborists provide actionable recommendations, including bio-stimulants, root pruning, and integrated pest management, to restore and maintain tree health.
Benefits of Root Cellar Excavation
RTEC’s expert root cellar excavation services provide essential benefits for tree health, safety, and aesthetics.
- Improve Tree Stability and Vitality: Restoring the root cellar prevents potential suffocation while improving water retention, making the tree more stable while promoting stronger growth and overall health.
- Prevent Disease and Pest Infestations: Uncovering the root cellar reduces the risk of mold, fungi, and pest infestations that tend to flourish in buried conditions, thereby extending the life of your tree.
- Resolve Structural and Root Issues: Actively address and rectify problems like girdling and adventitious roots that weaken trees, providing better nutrient and water absorption for greater sustainability.
- Help Improve Tree Care with Long-Term Solutions: Root cellar excavation integrates seamlessly with RTEC’s additional landscaping services, such as soil aeration, pest management, and bio-stimulant treatments, offering complete care for the plants on your property.
