Soil compaction, root suffocation, and improper mulching are some of the most common — and most overlooked — threats to tree health. At Peters - Todd’s, we use air spading, a non-invasive method that uses high-pressure air to safely expose and treat critical root zones without damaging the tree.
Our air spading services are ideal for:
Unlike traditional excavation methods, air spading allows us to work with surgical precision — minimizing turf disturbance and protecting the long-term health of your trees. Our crews are trained to identify root issues early and restore conditions essential for healthy, sustained growth.
Whether as part of a plant health care plan or a standalone diagnostic service, air spading is a critical tool for root-zone rehabilitation — and one of the reasons Peters - Todd’s is trusted by homeowners, institutions, and municipalities across New Jersey.
Construction projects often place significant stress on existing trees, especially through soil compaction around the critical root zone (CRZ). Without proper mitigation, even mature, healthy trees can decline or fail years after work is completed.
At Peters - Todd’s, we offer a specialized Post-Construction Tree Root Mitigation Program designed to restore soil structure, encourage root recovery, and preserve valuable tree assets.
Using specialized equipment, we create controlled fractures in the compacted soil layers by injecting water under high pressure. This targeted approach:
We apply professional-grade plant growth regulators (PGRs) that:
Following decompaction, we apply premium wetting agents to:
