Root Collar Excavation

Root Collar Excavation Helps Tree Roots Breathe

We utilize this technique in Waxahachie, TX and surrounding areas

When done by a certified arborist, root collar excavation can improve a tree’s health and life span. Arbor Pro Tree Care and Consulting Arborist begins every job in the Waxahachie, TX area with a comprehensive assessment of the root collar, or the zone where the roots transition into the trunk.


If the root collar is buried or constricted, it can lead to various health problems for the tree over time. Luckily, we can prevent many of these issues by doing root collar excavation work. Call 469-383-1983 now to speak with us about your tree’s health.

We’ll treat any issues that we discover during the excavation process

We use the AirSpade to expose the root collar without damaging this delicate area. From there, we’ll inspect it for signs of:


  • Damage
  • Disease
  • Girdling roots
  • Other issues that could stunt your tree’s growth.


Then, we’ll treat your tree for the issues we’ve discovered by pruning the roots or applying pesticides. Lastly, we’ll backfill the area with high-quality soil or mulch.
