When a mature tree in Metro Atlanta declines with no obvious cause above ground, the answer is often buried at the roots. Boutte Tree uses air spading, a technique that breaks up soil with compressed air instead of a shovel, to diagnose root problems without damaging the roots themselves.
This method reveals girdling roots, buried root flares, soil compaction, and construction damage that stay hidden until canopy symptoms appear, often years after the underlying issue started.
Our ISA certified arborists use air spading as part of our plant health care program across Atlanta, Sandy Springs, Roswell, and the surrounding metro, correcting exposed root issues on the spot whenever possible.
If a tree on your property has been declining without an explanation, an air spading assessment may reveal what's really going on.
