Airspade around tree roots 

Here is a link to the Airspade we used. amzn.to/2DGltaY
This job started out with the aim of finding a broken water pipe, best guess was it had broken at the exit from the building. After being unable to find the pipe, we moved on to plan B, this was to dig a trench along side the building and the down the garden between the trees for laying a new water line to the guest house at the bottom of the property. The airspade was extremely useful for this specific work, as we had to remove much of the small fibrous roots, but wanted to leave as much intact as was feasible. The excavation that was done with the Airspade was necessary, and made it as easy as it could have been. Using another method for excavation would have meant much more damage to the tree roots.
