Application

Tree grilles are important in protecting the base of the tree and the root system, particularly in urban / paved environments. The grille cut outs allow rainfall irrigation, and the grilles once suspended above the soil with a suitable mulch beneath them also eradicate soil compaction, allowing both water and oxygen to the root of the tree.

  • Paved and urban areas
  • Other paved areas
  • Soft landscaping where vehicle or foot traffic can cause soil compaction
  • Public realm
  • Education: schools, colleges and universities
  • Commercial applications
  • Industrial sites
  • Landscaping and environmental management projects
  • Riverside, waterside and coastal
  • Conservation areas
  • Traditional projects
  • Green projects


Description

Cast iron tree grille with decorative design that combines the practical benefits of a tree grille - root protection with oxygen and irrigation maintenance with a stylish appearance that is that little bit different to the usual designs.


Manufactured completely in the UK, from 100% recycled cast iron, these grilles are supplied with steel support frames and tree guards if required. Laser profiled tree guards that accompany the grille design are available.


The grilles can be set up to house uplighters and irrigation systems if required.


Can also be manufactured in high grade SG (ductile) iron which adds significant strength, or they can have heavy duty sub frames manufactured (or both) if they need to be even stronger.


Grilles can be finished wet painted, powder coated or left as bare metal. Bare iron will oxidise and rust, but then quickly passivates and stabilises meaning it will never need painting and it should still have a lifespan in excess of 100 years in normal use.
