Nature-based solutions in even the most challenging conditions.
Our services include: site evaluation, remedial design, phytoremediation implementation, monitoring and maintenance, and coordination of combined remediation strategies that incorporate our phytoremediation systems with other non-phyto remedial technologies
Traditional phyto has its limits.
Conventional or non-engineered approaches treat shallow, impacted soil and groundwater and are appropriate for low-contaminant concentrations or low-level phytotoxicity. Problems with restricted root development and annual rainfall hinder broad implementation of such traditional systems.
We have solutions.
Our innovative TreeWell® Systems expand the applicability and efficacy of phytoremediation. By engineering the growth of roots and managing the water that gets to them, we are able to utilize trees to reliably reach groundwater at depths exceeding 100 feet and direct root growth and water consumption to a target horizon in the aquifer of interest, while excluding water from other sources.
We are experts in the use of plants to remediate contaminants in groundwater and soil as well as the hydraulic control of plume geometry and contaminant migration.
Contaminants successfully treated by TreeWell® Systems
• Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) • Semi-Volatile Organic Compounds (SVOCs) including 1,4-dioxane • Pesticides • Agricultural inorganics such as nitrate & ammonium • Tritium • Solubilized metals: lead, arsenic, boron, zinc, cadmium

Applied Natural Sciences is currently working on multiple pilot-scale TreeWell projects for the remediation of PFAS-impacted groundwater.
Experience the difference our TreeWell® Systems can make.
Applied Natural Sciences has been providing sustainable, effective remedial solutions for complex soil and groundwater contamination since 1993.
