Compacted Soil Remediation

Compacted soil remediation is the process of alleviating soil compaction, which occurs when soil particles are pressed together, reducing pore space and limiting the movement of air, water, and nutrients. Compacted soil can lead to poor plant growth, water runoff, and erosion. Remediation techniques include aeration, which involves perforating the soil with small holes to allow air and water to penetrate the roots, and adding organic matter to improve soil structure. In severe cases, mechanical tilling or the use of specialized equipment may be necessary to break up compacted layers. Proper remediation restores the soil's health and fertility, promoting robust plant growth and a more sustainable landscape.
