RootForm

The RootForm system is a dual-purpose product with all the benefits of GreenBlue Urban’s Root Director products but with the added function of providing a high speed shuttering system to create a concrete haunch around the tree pit. RootForm is designed to be filled with concrete, providing a base for fixing down tree grille frames and preventing compaction of the tree rooting area immediately adjacent to the root ball.

Features and benefits:

• Modular construction for any sized tree pit.
• Recycled HDPE is resistant to puncture, biodegradation, and photodegradation.
• Suitable for inclusion of steel reinforcement if required.
• Internal ribs prevent ‘root girdling’ – a fatal rooting pattern.
• Deeper root growth improves drought tolerance, tree stability and longevity.
• Guides roots away from areas vulnerable to de-icing salts.
• Prevents pavement ‘root heave’ effectively eliminating trip hazards.
• Assembled in moments ready for concrete pour, no shuttering required.
• Reduces quantity of concrete required with traditional shuttering.
• External horizontal ribbing creates key to external paving layerworks preventing differential settlement.
