Sick Tree in Idaho...this is often the answer

How a Tree is planted and what type of soil it is trying to grow in is the key to a healthy tree.

One mistake that is so common is planting a tree too deep. This creates severe problems as this university study points out.

Our Idaho Soils are often heavy clay. Trees need what are called macropores or "air space" in the soil to be healthy, as the study above discussed, failure to have adequate drainage leads to slow suffocation of the tree.

If you're tired of treating a tree and want a true fix, you need to change the environment around the tree. We do this with what is called an airspade. This uses high-velocity air to change the soil compaction without damaging the roots.
