Lawn and Soil Aeration

Our lawn and soil aeration method is used to enhance and improve soil conditions. Our high-pressured tool loosens the soil without any adverse impact on the root system. Organic matter is then added, as it often deficient in soils in the Bakersfield and Southern California area. The root collar is the space where the root system reaches the stem. This area should be clear of dirt and mulch, which will decrease the promotion of infestations and disease.


Soil Compaction Treatments

AB Tree Doctor uses several different methods to aerate the soil and promote more favorable conditions for root growth. Fertilizing is the initial process of soil compaction. Soil injection fertilization is needed in compacted soil, as it aerates the soil simultaneously, enabling better nutrient absorption.

Radial trenching is another method of soil compaction; it is a more involved process than vertical mulching. It includes removing soil in a wagon wheel pattern. The earth is then replaced with an amendment and some of the original ground. This process returns lots of the original soil and is also used for new plantings in more complex areas.

Soil Fracturing

Fracturing is a technology created to increase the efficiency of removal and in-situ treatment methods. It is principally used in difficult soil conditions, especially in clay and compacted soils. This technique and the products we use will help moisten the soil and leech out salt buildup.


Vertical and Radial Trenching

Vertical mulching creates vertical holes in the soil, usually where fill soil has been added. The root is then able to grow into these holes, necessary for healthy growth. If your tree is damaged or if the soil is too compacted, vertical mulching is most likely required. Also, if tree drainage is poor, vertical mulching can be very beneficial. Our specialists will perform radial trenching to trees growing in compacted or poor soils to help get oxygen to the roots. Radial trenching is done to remove dirt from the trunk. Narrow trenches are dug in a spoke-like design, then refilled with topsoil/fertilizer.
