What is Air Spading?

The air spade is a state-of-the art excavation tool that is revolutionising the arboricultural industry. An air spade is a diagnostic and remedial tool. The air spade uses great volumes of compressed air to remove and break up soil—even hard clay—without damaging roots, cables or buried utility lines. The focused air stream cuts through soil quickly and with great accuracy in considerably less time than conventional digging, allowing for more efficient service.

Why Air Spade?

Immediate visual inspection and correction of specific plant health concerns   Quick, accurate diagnosis of plant diseases and the extent of decay without extensive root system damage   One step aeration and soil replacement to reduce soil compaction   Trench with minimum disturbance of roots during utility or construction projects   Facilitates application of specially blended materials to promote root growth and survival rate   Air spading can accurately reveal the cause of declining plant health in an otherwise healthy row of trees or shrubs

The Air Spade

The Air Spade has become the premier air tool for advanced tree care and can be used for aeration, radial trenching, transplanting/bare rooting to name but a few uses.
