    The AirSpade is a specialized air excavation tool used for tree care and removal services. The pressurized air exposes roots without damaging the tree or surrounding vegetation. Kifiak uses this advanced technology to improve the efficiency of our work while keeping trees and their root systems safe.

    What Is the AirSpade?

    The AirSpade is an air-powered excavation tool that dislodges soil safely and efficiently. Arborists, construction workers, and utility professionals use AirSpade technology to detect tree roots, excavate, pipelines, and underground utilities.

    When trees need to go, we detect tree roots, using AirSpade technology with highly pressurized airflow. Once the hole is dug, we backfill the area with special soil like triple mix. Discover all the ways we use the AirSpade below.

    AirSpade tools are incredibly useful for performing tree care, soil management, and excavation projects around a tree’s critical root zone (CRZ). In contrast to other mechanical excavation and landscaping tools, the AirSpade loosens and removes soil without posing a risk to root systems and other vegetation.

    Certain soil conditions, such as compacted, nutritionally imbalanced, or anaerobic (oxygen deprived) soil, can negatively impact a tree’s health. The AirSpade can be used for soil decompaction, air tilling, vertical mulching, and radial trenching to address each problem effectively and safely.

    AirSpades can help replace the topsoil around a tree’s root system. This is necessary if the soil conditions are poor, such as lacking proper nutrients. We can also use the AirSpade to amend problems with root structures, such as girdling roots.

    Excavation is a common practice in construction, including foundation building, utilities installations and maintenance, pavement installations, and pool installations. The AirSpade helps detect and excavate around trees and CRZs as well as prune roots to safeguard them during and after construction.

    Benefits of Using AirSpade for Tree Removal

    • Minimized Risk: Unlike other tools, such as shovels and picks, the AirSpade won’t hit, cut, crack, or break the roots when excavating the soil. 
    • Efficient Process: The AirSpade works two to three times faster than other excavation techniques.
    • Eco-Friendly Approach: The AirSpade doesn’t disturb the soil as other heavy machinery and sharp tools can during excavation and tree care
    • Improved Safety for Workers & Property: Safety hazards are reduced as the AirSpade poses less of a risk to underground utility lines, cables, pipes, roots, or waste containers.

    When Do We Use the AirSpade?

    • Tree Removal in Tight or Sensitive Areas: Non-invasive nature makes accessing roots around sensitive or tight spaces easier with fewer risks.
    • Working Around Protected or Historic Trees: Preserve and maintain the health and integrity of trees that are protected by the city or of historical significance. 
    • Excavating Near Pipes or Foundations: Limit risks of injuries and damage when working around underground water, gas, sewer, and electrical lines as well as residential or commercial building foundations.
    • Preserving Vegetation While Removing Trees: Minimizes environmental impact by preserving surrounding plants, shrubbery, and other natural elements.
    • Fence Installation: We use AirSpade to detect tree roots before fence installation, helping avoid damage and ensuring safe placement near trees.

    I contacted Yuri to remove a hazardous tree, and their work exceeded my expectations. The team was very professional and meticulous, completing the challenging task with a high level of skill. They safely and thoroughly removed the tree that was in a dangerous position, close to a fence and a house. After the job was done, the area was left clean and tidy. I highly recommend Kifiak Tree Service to anyone needing quality tree removal services—reliable, efficient, and professional!
