Meet the Founder
George Steward
Founder, Soil Grower | Consulting Arborist
Liberty Hill, Texas • Central Texas Urban Forestry
"Healthy trees don't just happen. They grow from a thriving, living soil ecosystem where water flows and life flourishes. I use a proactive, soil-first approach to build resilient community trees, honoring the deep interconnectedness of our local ecosystem."
From Service Provider to Sanctuary Steward.
The Soil Grower's path doesn't end with a successful business. That's just the engine. The destination is Sanctuary.
De-commodify the Land
We acquire degraded land and take it out of the speculative market forever, designating it for regeneration.
Tenure for Stewards
Qualified Soil Growers gain long-term tenure on Sanctuary land. It's not just a job site; it's your legacy.
The First 100 Acres
Target acquisition for 2026. Reserved for the first cohort of Master Soil Growers.
The Soil Grower's Path
Every tree tracked, every forest planted, every community served advances you through seven stages of regenerative mastery.

Coming Soon: Soil Grower Live
The Soil Grower's Path isn't just about trees. It's about growing the mental, physical, and spiritual soil of life. A platform for holistic regeneration—body, mind, community, and planet.
Specialized Air Excavation Services
We utilize the AirSpade® system to perform surgical-grade soil work. By moving soil with air at Mach 2, we can expose roots, decompact clay, and install infrastructure without damage.
Root Collar Excavation (RCX)
The #1 service for tree health. We safely remove excess soil and mulch from the base of the tree to expose the root flare, correct planting depth, and remove girdling roots that strangle the tree.
Radial Trenching
We create spoke-like trenches radiating from the trunk using air tools, then backfill with high-quality compost and biochar. This provides "highways" for new root growth into nutrient-rich soil.
Construction Preservation
Surgical excavation for piers (12"x24"+) and horizontal tunneling to route utilities through root systems without severance. Essential for preserving heritage trees during development.
Soil Invigoration
Deep decompaction (12"+) and surface air-tilling to fracture compacted clay soils. We incorporate custom amendments like MitoGrow, biochar, and compost to jumpstart the soil food web.
Vertical Mulching
Drilling grid-pattern holes throughout the Critical Root Zone to reduce compaction and introduce vertical columns of porous, nutrient-rich material. Ideal for trees in lawns or restricted spaces.
MitoGrow™ Applications
Advanced bio-hormonal treatments using IBA and Bacillus bacteria to stimulate rapid root generation. A powerful tool for transplant shock recovery and reversing decline in stressed trees.
