The method & the benefit
An introduction to the right specialist.
Compacted ground can restrict the movement of air and water, leaving roots with poorer growing conditions. Specialist air injection can help relieve compacted soils, creating pathways below the surface with limited disturbance to the landscape above. For communal gardens, established trees and heavily used lawns, it offers a targeted option worth investigating before undertaking ground replacement. We assess your enquiry and introduce you to an independent specialist who evaluates suitability, recommends treatment and carries out the work. This is a referral service, with the provider and scope made clear before booking. Start by telling us where the ground is struggling.
AirTools provides an introduction. The specialist assesses suitability, agrees the scope and delivers the treatment. We will ask before sharing your enquiry.

Good questions
Know where
you stand.
Who carries out the treatment?
An independent specialist. AirTools handles your initial enquiry and, with your agreement, makes an introduction. The provider assesses the site, recommends a scope and carries out the treatment.
Will decompaction cure waterlogging or save a declining tree?
Neither outcome can be guaranteed. Compaction may be one of several causes. The specialist should assess the ground and, where needed, recommend arboricultural or drainage advice before treatment.
Are additives always needed?
No single treatment suits every site. The specialist will explain whether air injection alone or a treatment involving suitable materials is appropriate, together with the scope and cost.
