Tree Care Service: Root Collar Excavation & Soil Aeration
Compacted soils and, even worse, the mulch volcano harm tree health. We use targeted, high-pressure air to break up compacted soil, giving your favorite tree much-needed access to crucial nutrients, water, and oxygen in the soil.
Soil aeration is also a good solution for trees sitting in water due to poor drainage. The extra space in the soil allows water to drain away from the tree's roots. During aeration and root collar excavation, girdling roots are removed from the tree trunk.
Pricing starts at $150 and depends on your tree’s canopy size. Contact us with any questions. We serve properties in Philadelphia, the Main Line, and surrounding cities.

We had a handful of trees we needed removed and Practiced Hands Tree Care had the best prices around. They were very responsive and quick to get the job done. They cleaned up the entire mess and everything looked great ! We highly recommend!
Maria Palumbo
Excellent job! They trimmed trees that have been neglected for over 10 years, removed 60 year old trees that were dying, all in one day! Super impressed by their efficiency and thoroughness, our yard is looking much better.
