proforester.com - Our Tools & Equipment

Root Pruning:
Do you have a root pruning job in difficult terrain?
We have the tools to get the job done!

Options available include:
a) A "walk behind" Dosco^® Root-Cutter for use in terrain that is reasonably firm and even.
b) We have also recently constructed a purpose-built root cutter mounted on a tracked carrier to enable us to provide professional root-pruning services in more difficult terrain than was previously possible.
c) An Airspade^® excavation tool to expose roots so they may be cleanly severed using standard pruning equipment and/or hand tools.

Non Destructive Root/Root Collar Excavations:
Can't excavate or root prune because of buried utilities?
We have a tool for that too...

The Airspade^® uses a supersonic jet of compressed air to blow away soils without damaging buried cables, pipes, or other utilities and without causing irreparable harm to tree roots.

Vascular Injection Systems:
Do you have a tree that is too large or tall to safely spray for pests or diseases?
Are you concerned about chemical drift harming the environment?
Vascular injections address both concerns...

By injecting systemic remedies directly into the vascular tissues of affected trees, pesticides and/or fungicides are rapidly transported throughout the tree without the dangers of environmental exposure associated with conventional spraying.

It is also possible to introduce specially formulated nutrients to a tree requiring rapid renourishment in cases of serious root damage.

It is important to note that vascular injection procedures do cause some wounding to the treated tree and this factor is always taken into consideration before prescribing such a remedy.
