Environmental Benefits For Peace Of Mind
Complete soil solutions for healthier landscapes
At Lewis Tree Surgery York Ltd, we provide specialist soil improvement services designed to support healthy trees and thriving landscapes across York, Selby, York Central, and York South. From soil testing and ground preparation to advanced soil decompaction and nutrient enhancement, we create the conditions plants need to flourish. Whether you're establishing a new garden, improving raised beds, or supporting mature trees, our tailored soil solutions promote stronger growth and long-term resilience.
Tree Injection & Soil Health Solutions
At Lewis Tree Surgery York Ltd, we understand that healthy trees start with healthy soil. Compacted, nutrient-poor or poorly drained ground can restrict root growth, reduce nutrient uptake and lead to declining tree health. Using the Vogt Geo Injection System, we improve soil conditions beneath the surface, helping trees develop stronger roots, greater resilience and long-term vitality.
Tree Injection
Our tree injection service uses high-pressure air to break up compacted soil and inject enriched biochar directly into the root zone.
Benefits
-
Relieves soil compaction
-
Improves drainage and aeration
-
Delivers nutrients directly to roots
-
Encourages healthier growth
-
Supports long-term tree health
Suitable for private gardens, public spaces and trees affected by construction activity.
Soil Solutions
We combine the Vogt Geo Injection System with Carbon Gold Enriched Biochar to improve soil structure and growing conditions around trees and shrubs. Healthy soil promotes stronger growth while helping reduce the risk of pests and disease.
How It Works
-
Soil decompaction using compressed air
-
Injection of nutrient-rich biochar
-
Improved drainage and water movement
-
Increased oxygen availability around roots
What Is Biochar?
Biochar is a carbon-rich material produced from natural plant matter through a process called pyrolysis. Its porous structure improves soil health by retaining moisture, nutrients and beneficial microbes within the root zone.
Benefits of Biochar
-
Improves water retention
-
Enhances nutrient availability
-
Encourages beneficial soil life
-
Improves aeration and soil structure
-
Stores carbon in the ground for long-term environmental benefits
Air Spading
Air spading is a non-invasive technique that uses compressed air to expose roots and relieve soil compaction without damaging the tree. It allows us to inspect root systems for signs of damage, disease or decay while improving access to water, nutrients and oxygen.
Benefits
-
Improved root health
-
Better tree stability
-
Enhanced nutrient uptake
-
Increased tree vigour
-
Healthier long-term growth
Soil Injection
What Is Compacted Soil?
Compacted soil occurs when soil particles are pressed tightly together, restricting the movement of air, water and nutrients. This often leads to poor drainage, standing water and stressed trees.
Our Solution
By injecting air and enriched biochar below the surface, we restore soil structure, improve drainage and create healthier conditions for root development and long-term tree growth.
