Root Collar Excavation

Glossary
Root Collar Excavation

Root collar excavation is the process of carefully exposing the root collar, or the area where the tree trunk meets the roots, to prevent issues like girdling roots, fungal infections, and decay. This maintenance task involves removing excess soil, mulch, or other materials that may have accumulated around the base of the tree and buried the root collar. If girdling roots are present, they may need to be carefully pruned away. Ensuring the root collar is properly exposed allows for better air circulation, prevents moisture buildup that can lead to rot, and reduces the risk of stress or decline in the tree. Regular root collar excavation is essential for the long-term health of trees, especially in urban or landscaped settings where soil and mulch are often piled too high around the base of the tree.
