What’s the ROOT of the Problem?

It’s All About The Roots

Person using a trimmer on a tree, demonstrating proper care for plant health and root aeration in a lush green lawn environment.

This temperate rainforest weather has kept everything green and lush this summer, however some plants struggle when the base of the tree and roots are too soggy.
Aeration for both lawns and trees help open the soil and
promote healthy roots and plants.

Tree excavation demonstration showing incorrect mulching (tree volcano) and root exposure, emphasizing Broccolo's landscaping services.
Mulch piled on trunks and stems of plants also reduces the air flow and cause rot at the base of the plants. The soil must be excavated.

A tree should not look like a pole in the ground. The root should flare where the tree and soil meet.
Yellowing leaves with green veins, indicating nutrient deficiency, relevant to plant health and soil conditions.

Fall is the best time to encourage growth with aeration and the addition of organic soil amendments. Acidifier is added if there is nutrient
deficiency to help the roots store iron and magnesium for next years leaf growth. Early fall color or leaf drop are signs of stressed trees. Discoloring of leaves is a symptom of nutrient deficiency.

We all need air to breathe. Saturated soils with heavy compacted clay do not have enough oxygen for the micro-organisms to thrive. Life underground is critical to create organic matter for decomposition and the release of nutrients and oxygen exchange.
