What is Airspading?
Sometimes construction work must occur beneath tree canopies. When this is the case, we use airspading – blasting air at high pressure to expose the tree’s roots without damaging them to grant construction workers visual and physical access to irrigation, buried electrical lines, or other flexible sub-surface utilities. These critical pieces of infrastructure may then be between the roots without any of the damage that a backhoe or excavator might cause to the tree. Airspading is also helpful for diagnosing root problems and loosening compacted soil which may be preventing proper nutrient absorption.
