Description
A range of tree protection, root management, structural soil modules and irrigation/aeration packages, designed to simplify the specification and installation of urban tree planting schemes. The ArborSystem range of standard tree pit details have been designed in consultation with landscape architects and tree planting professionals and are available in different AutoCAD formats.
Features and benefits:
- Facilitates specifying for tree planting with a single product code.
- Adaptable for different locations.
- Ensures product compatibility.
- Drastically reduces time spent on specifying, quoting and ordering for tree planting projects.
- Landscape designers can demonstrate to clients a professional long-term approach to tree planting and management issues.
- Installers can benefit from our onsite support service for peace of mind.
- ArborSystem is based around the GreenBlue Urban range of structural soil cell systems utilizing the broadest range of typical installation occurrences.
- The simplest packages are suited to whip tree planting on large scale projects. For more demanding urban locations, the more comprehensive packages contain load bearing soil support modules, root management, irrigation, underground guying, aeration and surface detailing such as tree grilles and guards.
- Proven installations dating back to 1992
