Root Investigation

Tree Environs provides a wide range of solutions for managing potentially costly or hazardous tree root problems.

Our Arborists can carry out assessments on tree root structure and growth patterns using specialized equipment and field observations. Tree Environs provides written reports on the location and impact of roots, identification of the species of tree involved, or where necessary identify the exact tree involved through DNA testing.

We can also undertake actions required to resolve issues detected by our investigations through root pruning, the creation of zones antagonistic to root growth or the installation of root barriers.

Other areas of tree root and tree health management undertaken by Tree Environs include:

• Assessment of tree root systems to determine damage or whole tree stability issues.
• Expert witness testimony in legal disputes involving damage associated with tree root systems.
• Air-Spade® operation for the remediation of stress in compacted soils around trees.
• Air-Spade® excavations for root location, mapping or root pruning around infrastructure or buildings.
• Installation of root barriers in the vicinity of new or existing plantings to protect private property or infrastructure.
• The protection of trees and buildings on development sites.
