Soil & Root Health Services for Stronger Trees
Healthy trees start with healthy soil. Evergreen Tree Care provides comprehensive soil and root health services in the East Bay to restore vitality, improve water absorption, and strengthen root systems. Our certified arborists use proven methods like air spading, vertical mulching, deep root fertilization, BioHydration, and growth regulation to revitalize compacted or nutrient-poor soils throughout Contra Costa County.
Why Soil & Root Health Matters
The East Bay’s clay-heavy soils and long dry seasons make it difficult for roots to access air, water, and nutrients. Over time, compaction and low organic matter weaken trees from below.
Our Soil & Root Health program corrects these conditions by improving soil structure, boosting moisture retention, and restoring the natural processes that support healthy root growth.
Benefits of professional soil care:
- Improves oxygen and nutrient flow to roots
- Enhances drought tolerance and water efficiency
- Reduces stress from compaction and poor drainage
- Promotes long-term tree stability and growth
- Our Soil & Root Health Services
Our Soil & Root Health program targets the soil beneath your trees to correct these hidden problems—improving structure, moisture retention, and microbial activity so trees can thrive year-round.
Air Spading
Air spading uses compressed air to safely loosen compacted soil around roots without damaging them. This restores oxygen movement, improves drainage, and exposes root systems for inspection and correction. It is ideal for trees impacted by construction, foot traffic, or heavy clay soils.
Vertical Mulching
Vertical mulching, also called soil decompaction, involves drilling small vertical holes around the root zone and filling them with organic material. This technique improves aeration and helps water and nutrients reach the active root area, particularly in mature or drought-stressed trees.
Deep Root Fertilization
Deep root fertilization delivers nutrients directly into the soil where roots can absorb them. This improves tree strength, balances growth, and supports resilience against drought and seasonal stress.
BioHydration
Our BioHydration treatments infuse deep layers of soil with water and organic compounds that improve moisture balance. These treatments are especially effective for trees showing signs of drought stress or root dehydration during the dry East Bay seasons.
Growth Regulator
Growth regulators such as Tree Balance slow canopy growth and redirect energy toward the root system. This helps trees develop stronger roots, improves drought resistance, and reduces the need for frequent corrective pruning.

- More Ways to Strengthen and Protect Your Trees
Tree Pest Management
Pests such as aphids, scale insects, and bark beetles can weaken trees by disrupting nutrient flow and damaging new growth. Our arborists use precise, environmentally responsible treatments that control infestations and protect the delicate soil ecosystem supporting your trees.
Tree Disease Management
Tree diseases can spread quickly and often begin below the surface. Evergreen’s arborists provide accurate diagnoses and treatment programs that restore vitality and reduce reinfection risks. Healthier soil and balanced nutrients create the best defense against disease.
Drought Stress Management
Drought stress affects soil structure as much as the canopy above. Our drought recovery treatments combine BioHydration and soil restoration techniques that help roots retain moisture, rebuild strength, and adapt to the East Bay’s challenging dry conditions.
