Creating cities to live in

Sustainable landscapes are essential for our cities to remain liveable and combat urban challenges. Mature, functional trees are the most nature-based urban solution to limit the impacts of climate change in public spaces.

Unfortunately the life expectancy of the average urban tree is only ten years…

We help increase the life expectancy of urban trees. Only then can we reap the environmental benefits healthy trees have to offer us. Our urban tree planting system allows trees in the urban environment to grow while also providing the best method for sustainable urban water management. By connecting blue, green and grey urban infrastructures we create sustainable urban landscapes and future-proof cities.

Sandwichconstruction

Load-bearing and pressure spreading system

Pressure spreading systems spread the load of vehicle movements around the rooting area of the tree and eliminate/reduce soil compaction within the pit. Our sandwich construction replaces the foundation layer, creates a thinner base course and increases the available root growth volume. The open structure produces an open air layer beneath the pavement and prevents root damage to the pavement. Sandwich constructions are specially developed for situations where compaction of root space is to be expected due to traffic loads.

MINIMIZING PAVEMENT LIFTING

Vehicular traffic over unprotected areas within the tree root protection zones of existing trees cause compaction of sub soils which leads to reduced voids within the soil structure. This reduces air and water transfer to the roots themselves which can ultimately lead to the root structure declining and the eventual loss of the tree. Because of the compaction the roots will search for air and water just underneath or between the pavement or asphalt.

A sandwich construction is placed on a layer of tree soil, or structural soil, beneath the surface of the pavement. The system can be used in areas with existing or newly planted trees. Our pressure spreading system is also a good alternative in areas where it is not possible to use other subsurface structures or in areas with a high groundwater level.

We advise that the system should not be used within the zone of rapid taper (distance depends on the tree species, but to be sure ask a tree specialist when working within a 2 metre circle around the tree). To prevent the sandwich construction from lifting we recommend that you use our Tree Root Directing panels. Please remember that the situation could differ and depends on your expectations and objectives. Our experts will gladly help you find the best solution.

TreeParker system

Modular structural soil cell system including stormwater management

Our structural soil cell system offers the most ideal circumstances for trees to thrive beneath the pavement.

CONNECTING GREEN, BLUE AND GREY

Our TreeParker system is the latest generation of underground structural soil cell systems for trees in hard landscaping. The TreeParker system provides large volumes of non-compact high quality soil and maximises the usable space beneath the ground, providing unlimited expansion for unimpeded root growth, while supporting traffic loads at the same time. It is ideal for new trees in areas such as pavements, car parks, plazas, green roofs and even green walls.

TreeParker has been developed from the experience gained by extensive trials, projects and discussions with landscape architects, clients, contractors and nurseries to provide the most cost-effective, fit-for-purpose solution to the problems associated with growing large trees in urban environments.

In addition to the key functions, such as withstanding heavy traffic loads, whilst maintaining pavement integrity and providing an unimpeded root growth, TreeParker also promotes stormwater management within the system, dealing with rainwater runoff at source; the ideal SuDS solution.

Key elements taken into consideration for the development process were the need for simple design, easy installation, sustainability, integration of existing and new utilities, variable unit depth and free void space for soil infill.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT

Our engineering department will gladly assist you in making construction calculations and professionally drawn tree pit layouts. We provide full design and installation support for the entire project, from start to finish.
