How Does it Benefit Stay Green’s Customers?
First, it saves money. The Air-Spade quickly moves through all types of soil with remarkable accuracy in far less time than hand digging, enabling us to charge lower labor costs.
Second, it protects landscaping. It allows workers to uncover and lift a tree’s complete root system. Traditional excavating methods can destroy up to 30 percent of a tree’s roots.
So, the Air-Spade boosts the survivability rate during with anything involving tree roots, especially transplanting.
