What is Root Pruning?

Root pruning is a specialized horticultural technique aimed at enhancing the health and vitality of your trees and shrubs by selectively trimming and redirecting their root systems. This process is particularly beneficial in urban environments where space constraints and soil conditions can impact the well-being of your green companions.

What does it involve?

Our Root Pruning service involves the targeted removal of specific roots to stimulate healthy growth and development. We carefully assess the unique needs of your landscape, identifying problematic roots that may impede growth or cause structural issues. By selectively pruning these roots, we foster a more robust and balanced root system.

How does it work?

Expert Evaluation: Our skilled arborists conduct a thorough evaluation of your landscape, identifying areas where root pruning can optimize plant health.


Precision Pruning: Using specialized tools and techniques, we precisely prune selected roots. This encourages the development of new, healthier roots while mitigating potential issues caused by overly aggressive or entangled root systems.


Strategic Planning: Root pruning is a strategic endeavor, focusing on the specific needs of your trees and shrubs. It's a proactive measure to prevent potential damage and ensure the long-term well-being of your landscape.


What Does It Mean for you?

  • Enhanced Tree Health: Root pruning contributes to overall tree health, promoting stronger, more resilient growth.
  • Prevention of Structural Issues: By addressing problematic roots, we prevent potential structural problems that may arise as trees mature.
  • Optimized Landscape Aesthetics: A well-balanced root system means healthier, more vibrant trees and shrubs, enhancing the aesthetics of your outdoor space.

WE DO NOT GRIND ROOTS ON LIVE TREES

In certain tree species and certain areas, especially in newer neighborhoods, roots will often grow above ground due to overly compacted sub-soil. Customers often ask us to grind the surface roots down to ground level. This is not an approved method of root pruning. Grinding roots on living trees destroy pathways for water and nutrient uptake and creates open wounds for insects and diseases to attack and damage a tree’s vascular system.
