Go to LEARNTREEHAB.COM and download a copy of our new eBook just released for Earth Day! On Site Evaluation: After Excavation. How to interpret what you find after a thorough excavation and inspection of the root flare and anchor roots. Our tree preservation journey started in Denver, North Carolina with how to understand roots, soil health, and why a root collar excavation is the key! We converted our established tree service into a tree preservation outfit! My father O. Barry Crabtree: Certified Arborist, expertly named this ideology the Fifth Element Protocol. Part of the green initiative that we should all strive to abide by. Our most common subject trees were white oak, red oak, maple, hickory, and poplar. Planted trees from our 10,000 tree nursery were part of our living laboratory. PHC, or plant health care, became a common goal. We focused on all parts of the trees; stem, collar, root flare, canopy, and all surrounding competition. We discovered topsoil quality could be evaluated and improved through aeration /decompaction resulting in a soil conditioning value! Root pruning is often necessary after air tools and our air knife redistributes volcano mulch. Now we do diagnostic inspection, tree inventory and risk assessment! The safety and security in our customers designed ecosystems is the most important benefit! Our practices conform to ANSI standards ISA best management practices.
