Large Tree Replacement in Crofton Park

Swingle helped bring the Crofton Park area back to life by taking on a very large tree replacement project. 

Approximately three years ago, a landscape maintenance company mistakenly applied a concentrated herbicide around the base of trees in four seperate associations called Crofton Park.  It was fatal to the trees.

Swingle's Plant Pathologist did an initial identification of the soil test to determine the amount of chemical remaining in the soil after two and a half years, to see if the site was safe to replant new trees.  The test came back with trace amounts of chemical and it was determined safe to plant new trees.

Swingle decided to remove a large portion of the old soil, add new clean soil to the soil mix, as well as charcoal to reduce the chance of any remaining chemical affecting the new trees.  Swingle determined this was the most thorough and safe way to proceed.  In 5-6 weeks, the project was completed, amounting to a total of approximately 217 new trees!!
