Vertical Mulching
Vertical mulching is an innovative and effective way to address soil compaction and improve the health of your trees. RTEC Treecare’s expert arborists use this technique to create space for essential air, water, and nutrients to reach your tree’s root system.
Breathe New Life into Your Trees with Vertical Mulching
When soil becomes compacted, it limits a tree’s ability to absorb nutrients, water, and oxygen, causing stress and poor growth. Vertical mulching alleviates these issues by creating vertical pathways in the soil that allow vital resources to reach the fibrous roots below, ultimately promoting healthier trees and a more vibrant landscape.
Our Vertical Mulching Services
At RTEC Treecare, our vertical mulching services are adjusted to address compacted soil and promote greater tree vitality.
Targeted Soil Aeration for Root Health
Vertical mulching penetrates deep into compacted soil, creating airways that allow oxygen and water to circulate and nourish your tree’s roots effectively.
Organic Backfill for Improved Soil Composition
After removing compacted soil, we refill the created holes with organic matter, enhancing the soil’s nutrient content and creating an environment conducive to root growth.
Assess Root Systems for Underlying Issues
The vertical mulching process allows our certified arborists to inspect the exposed root systems, identifying any potential issues such as damage, disease, or structural concerns.
Restore Soil Balance in High-Traffic Areas
Vertical mulching addresses soil compaction caused by foot traffic, vehicles, or construction, revitalizing the soil and improving its ability to sustain tree health.
Specialized Equipment for Safe Soil Removal
We use air tools specifically designed for vertical mulching, which safely remove soil without harming roots or surrounding landscaping.
Customized Care for Long-Term Health
Every vertical mulching service is customized to the distinct needs of your trees and soil, providing a solution that promotes sustained growth and resilience.
