Davey SoilCare® Solutions

It's estimated that 80% of above-ground problems with plant life can be traced back to unhealthy soils.

That’s why a great deal of our work begins by examining what’s underfoot. 

Davey SoilCare^® is a holistic, sustainable approach to helping restore plant health and symmetry. The best way for our arborists to recommend how to deal with issues in your landscape is by testing your soil to see which characteristics need attention.

When it comes to improving your soil, there are quite a few popular ways to do it, including the addition of compost and mulch.

But a newer approach using a biochar soil amendment has become increasingly popular for its positive impacts on not only the soil but also the environment.

Here are just a few benefits of using biochar:

• Holds water like a sponge, where plant roots can access it when they need it
• Helps conserve plant nutrients by storing them and making them readily available when plants need them
• Strongly resists compaction in soil, keeping channels open for water, air, and root movement
