Urban Landscaping Projects
Business Development Manager, Chris George, highlights the main factors to consider when specifying tree pits and tree grilles for landscaping projects. Planting trees in urban areas can provide many benefits. Any trees or saplings must be planted in a safe and secure setting to ensure their long-term growth and subsequent environmental advantages. Adequate root management, regular access to water and maintenance of soil condition are all essential elements to consider when incorporating trees into hard landscaped areas. Read our article to discover the benefits of tree pits and tree grilles.
