Red Eft Arborists | Tree Services & Landscaping in Novelty, OH 44072

For overgrown shrubs common in our area, we recommend a two-step solution. First, our landscape maintenance team can perform a careful rejuvenation pruning to reduce size and restore shape without harming the plant. For severely overgrown or misplaced shrubs, our excavation services can safely remove them and their root systems, followed by recommendations for better-suited plantings that won't create the same issue in the future.

Soil compaction is a frequent issue here, preventing proper drainage and root development. Our trench digging service is often used to install French drains or irrigation lines that directly address water runoff problems caused by compaction. For larger areas, our excavation services can carefully remove and replace the top layer of compacted soil with a healthy, aerated mix, creating an ideal foundation for new lawns, gardens, or landscape features.

Absolutely. While our excavation team tackles large-scale soil issues, our arborists use specialized tools like air spades for a process called vertical mulching or soil aeration. This technique removes small cores of compacted soil from within a tree's root zone and backfills them with compost, allowing essential air, water, and nutrients to penetrate. It's a targeted, expert tree care solution that alleviates soil stress directly around your valuable trees, promoting their health and stability.
