Science-Based Soil Solutions
Built for homeowners and estate managers who expect long-term plant health and water efficiency
Healthier Soil
Stronger Trees
Lasting Results
Rancho Santa Fe properties face unique challenges: compacted soil, mineral depletion, and desert conditions that leave roots starving despite regular watering. You may see yellowing fronds, thinning canopies, poor growth, or trees that struggle through every dry season.
Left untreated, weak soil leads to pest vulnerability, higher water bills, and expensive tree replacement. What starts as slow decline accelerates into permanent loss.
SD Soil and Soul is a specialized soil biology and tree health service based in Southern California, founded by Jamie Bowers to bring science-backed solutions to property owners tired of treatments that don’t last. We focus exclusively on systemic palm protection, oak borer defense, and organic soil restoration.
Our work centers on four proven methods: trunk injection therapy for palms and oaks, airspade soil decompaction to restore root zones, Living Soil System biochar and humate amendments, and targeted nutrition protocols that reverse deficiency symptoms in weeks. Every treatment is grounded in university research and delivered under Qualified Applicator License supervision.
We are locally owned, mentored by industry veteran Kathy Glassey, and committed to solving problems once rather than managing them forever. Your landscape investment deserves protection that actually works.
Restore soil’s living ecosystem with biochar and organic humates that improve water retention and unlock deep root vitality across your entire property.
Systematic tree and shrub care using precision deep root fertilization, disease diagnosis, and soil amendments that deliver measurable canopy improvement.
Targeted micronutrient injection and soil treatment that reverses yellowing fronds, restores vigorous growth, and corrects deficiencies for long-term palm health.
Supersonic air pressure fractures compacted soil around tree roots, restoring pore space and water penetration without damaging the existing root system.
Trees, palms, and shrubs develop deeper roots and natural resistance to pests, drought, and disease when living soil supports them.
Biochar-amended soil holds moisture longer, cutting water waste and keeping plants hydrated through dry stretches without constant irrigation.
Organic biology rebuilds itself season after season, so your property gets healthier over time instead of needing constant fertilizer.
In addition to a strong commitment to protecting the community’s beautiful trees, what sets Soil and Soul apart is the mission – 10% of revenue goes to help local families and homeless services through their Community Fund. It’s rare to find a business that combines excellent service with genuine community impact. Highly recommended!

Best tree service experience we’ve had! Jamie from Soil and Soul came out for a free assessment, explained all our options (no pressure), and gave us upfront pricing with volume discounts for multiple trees. He treated our 3 Canary palms the same day – super efficient. The fact that 10% supports the Soil and Soul Community Fund is just icing on the cake. Fair prices, honest service, and a company that gives back. 5 stars!

Homeowners and property managers across Southern California rely on our soil health and tree protection expertise. Our treatments rebuild compacted soil biology, restore nutrient balance, and defend against invasive threats using science-backed protocols proven in this climate.
It’s a complete soil amendment applied across your property: activated biochar creates permanent structure for microbes, and organic humates deliver over 60 bio-available nutrients immediately. We apply it in one visit.
Most properties show visible improvement in 30 to 60 days: deeper green color, stronger new growth, and plants that naturally resist stress better. Results compound as biology rebuilds over time.
Yes, completely safe. Every ingredient is USDA certified organic and OMRI listed. Your family and pets can walk on treated areas immediately after application without any waiting period.
We can treat any size area, but most homeowners choose whole-property coverage to rebuild biology across the entire landscape and maximize water retention benefits. Pricing scales by square footage.
One application lasts because we’re building permanent soil structure, not feeding the plant. Many clients join our quarterly maintenance program, but you’re never locked into a contract or ongoing commitment.
