Tree roots need air and water to move through soil, and compacted ground blocks both. Recent construction, driveway work, or repeated heavy traffic over a root zone are common causes on Williamson County properties.
Compaction damage often doesn't appear right away. A tree can decline slowly over a season or two, showing a thinning canopy or stunted growth long after the compaction actually occurred.
We evaluate soil conditions as part of a full tree health assessment, not just the canopy above ground. Aeration and other soil treatments can help a stressed root system recover when the issue is caught early.
