HTW
Urban tree planting solution
Too often, trees are planted in cramped planting pits and poor subsoil, resulting in retarded growth, with roots tending to colonize the area immediately underneath paved surfaces, leading to structural pavement damage.
We offer a range of effective urban tree planting systems which addresses all issues concerning the planting of trees in the urban environment in various ways. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Depending on project goals, budgets, priorities, regulations and local conditions, choose the best system for you.
Our team within the HTW group has a broad experience in all types of urban tree planting solutions. From structural soil to engineered structures, such as soil cells and root protection bridges. Take a look at our extensive range of products. If you do not find what you are looking for in this section, please call us at + 31 (0)547 – 383551 and we will try to deliver it.

Soil volume calculator
How many cubic metres do you need for a tree? Rules of thumb, such as 1 m3 (qm) per year of growth or 0.75 m3 per m2 of crown projection are often used. We are noting that these rules of thumb are still often used without further interpretation of the underlying assumptions. Treerootsystems is pleased to perform the necessary calculations to respond to this question.
We use the calculation standards published by the Dutch National Tree Institute for this purpose, in combination with climate zones of your project. The software used is based on both empirical and various scientific studies. See also the most comprehensive study conducted by Bartlett Tree research.
