Need to mechanically aerate compacted clay soil near a mature maple tree without damaging its exposed roots to improve grass growth.

Existing mechanical aerators risk damaging tree roots, and chemical solutions like biostimulants only address symptoms, not compaction near roots.

RootSafe Aeration Guide

A decision-support app that helps homeowners aerate compacted soil near mature trees safely. It uses soil type, tree species, and root maps (via photo analysis) to recommend aeration depth, tool type (e.g., core vs. spike), and pattern to avoid damaging roots. Better than guesswork or risking tree injury.

Key Features
  • Photo-based root zone mapping using tree canopy and soil surface analysis
  • Custom aeration path planner that avoids root zones
  • Tool and depth recommendations based on soil compaction grade and tree species
  • Before/after soil health tracking with moisture and compaction sensors integration
Target Users: Homeowners with compacted clay soil and mature trees in residential lawns
Revenue Model: $4.99 per aeration plan, or $14.99/year subscription for unlimited plans
