These pines were beginning to encroach upon the building, as well as being difficult to navigate under when accessing the backyard.
After
We raised the canopy and cleared the building.
Soil Improvement
Amended Soil
After a row of juniper shrubs were removed, the soil was amended with planter's mix.
Weed Barrier
Weed barrier prevents competition with undesirable vegetation for new plantings.
Mulch
A layer of mulch gives a better appearance than bare soil, and helps with weed control and moisture loss due to evaporation.
Root Aeration
This ash tree's roots were severely compacted due to construction equipment operating over the root zone. A power auger was used to bore numerous holes, which were filled with peat and covered with soil to alleviate compaction.
