Root Zone Soil Invigoration

Give Your Trees a Healthier Foundation

Over time, the soil around your trees can become compacted by foot traffic, construction, or even just everyday use. Compacted soil makes it difficult for roots to access the air, water, and nutrients they need to thrive. The result? Trees that struggle, decline, or lose their natural beauty.

That’s where Root Zone Soil Invigoration (RZSI) comes in.

What Is Root Zone Soil Invigoration?

RZSI is an advanced arboricultural treatment designed to rejuvenate the soil in the critical rootzone of your trees. Using specialized air tools, our experts gently loosen compacted soil without harming the roots. While the soil is open and porous, we enrich it with organic matter, compost, and beneficial amendments to restore healthy soil biology.

Benefits for Your Trees

  • Improved Root Growth: Looser soil creates space for fine feeder roots to expand.
  • Better Access to Nutrients & Water: Enhanced soil structure improves uptake.
  • Healthier Soil Life: Added organic matter and microbes restore balance underground.
  • Reduced Stress: Trees recover more quickly from construction, drought, or disease pressures.
  • Long-Term Vigor: A stronger root system leads to fuller canopies, greener leaves, and extended lifespan.

⸻ 

When Is RZSI Recommended?

  • Trees in lawns, driveways, or high-traffic areas where soil is compacted.
  • Valuable specimen trees showing signs of decline or stress.
  • As a preventive treatment to keep mature trees strong and resilient.
  • After construction or landscaping projects that disturbed the root zone.
