Urban tree planting solution
Info on all different solutions for growing tree roots underneath roads
Urban tree planting system has 2 main purposes:
· to allow trees to root under pavement
· while ensuring stability for the pavement.
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. Choose the best solution, depending on your project goals, budgets, priorities, regulations and local conditions.

Calculating the soil volume for your tree.
Calculating the required soil volume per tree is not straightforward. Various parameters are needed to quantify the soil volume. Of course, there are several rules of thumb commonly used to calculate the minimum volume required per tree. Please use these when preparing potential plans as well. But we recommend, once local conditions are known and the first preliminary sketches are ready, to recalculate the calculation more specifically adapted to your requirements and ambitions. Use the TRS soil volume calculator for this purpose.
Optimizing
your goals regarding blue and green infrastructure.
Trees are
typically not considered part of either grey or green stormwater management
systems; they are generally, and falsely, considered to be of landscaping
value. Planting a tree just for landscaping is not taking advantage of the
stormwater benefits and other environmental services the trees provides.
Installing trees in locations that are engineered to retain stormwater is a
great way to complement existing stormwater management systems, increasing
their capacity and improving water quality while greatly improving urban forest
canopy.
