Root Collar Excavation Service in Southern NH, ME, and MA

Did we mention we dig trees? We really dig trees.

At the root of good health

Without a strong root system, your trees might be slowly declining. But it’s hard to know what’s going on beneath the surface. That’s why Root Collar Excavation (RCX) can be such a valuable service. It involves the removal of existing or excess soil to inspect the root system of the tree. When performing RCX, we may find serious problems that require correction to preserve the health of your tree..

Root Collar Excavation hinges on extensive horticultural knowledge

If you’ve never heard of RCX before, it’s because not all companies offer it. This is a service that requires extensive horticultural knowledge and expertise. After all, once we remove all of that soil, it takes diagnostic skills to understand what’s going on and make the necessary corrections. This service is only as good as the certified arborist performing it.

Preserving tree health with Root Collar Excavation

Fortunately, with a certified arborist performing your Root Collar Excavation, you’ll gain all the benefits. They’ll gain insight into how your tree’s root system is doing. This will also provide an opportunity to fix girdling roots and aerate and amend the soil that the roots are growing in. In many cases, it will allow us to prevent a tree’s decline or death

We were so incredibly pleased with the quality of service we received from Seacoast Tree Care. They are arborists in the truest sense of the word. They clearly love trees and they are knowledgeable and skillful.
