SOIL REMEDIATION

Soil remediation is the process of de-compacting soils to increases soil pore space, improve oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange, boost water infiltration and encourage beneficial soil organisms. This all leads to a healthy and productive root system, critical to plant survival. Our arborist technicians utilize pneumatic technology and specialized air tools to break apart and renovate the soil. The compressed air is not detrimental to existing root systems, utilities or other in ground infrastructure (sprinkler lines, lighting wires etc.).

Cohen & Master’s custom compost is introduced into the soil at depth during the soil renovation process. Our hand blended compost is formulated with humates, volcanic minerals, pH adjusters and other organic material. This compost stimulates biology, improves disease resistance, maintains open pore spaces and creates an ideal environment for healthy root development.

Through these specialized soil treatments address the critical part of the plant: the roots. Give your plants the opportunity to thrive!

Toronto’s soils are often overly compacted and lacking in nutrients. We can help give your soils a makeover with deep root aeration and custom composts!

SOIL AERATION TUBES

Aeration tubes promote easier air and gas exchange to the root system of the tree, which promotes healthier root development.

The aeration tubes allow for active convection to take place. This means at nighttime when the temperatures drop, since cooler air is heavier, the aeration tubes convection cap is pulling the cool air down and then forcing the warmer out. This active exchange of oxygen is critical to the tree’s root zone.

They conserve water by allowing direct watering to the roots, eliminating runoff caused by conventional irrigation or sprinklers. These tubes also collect natural rain and any runoff from storms directing it directly into the tubes down to the root zone.

The aeration tubes can be installed when planting new trees, they help reduce shock and stress caused by the transplanting. They also help establish the trees zone quicker and will help promote deeper root growth.

They can also be installed in areas with limited soft scape – like patios with interlock.

We know that urban soils suffer from two issues:

1. Compacted soil

2. Limited surface area and soil volume.

We need to fix these issues in urban soils in order to give roots what they need to grow healthy, strong urban plants! Aeration Tubes are a device that fixes urban soils by delivering oxygen and water to roots.
