Tree Root Protection A guide to the selection and specification of no dig Tree Root Protection systems using ABG Abweb TRP

Protecting our Trees Trees are a valuable natural resource that are increasingly under threat from construction in the urban environment. As well as the obvious benefits to the environment of maintaining healthy trees they also provide aesthetic and resource qualities to any development. Problems arise when construction takes place in areas around tree root zones; compaction of soils and damage to soil structure from vehicular traffic can prevent valuable water and air from reaching the roots starving the tree of vital resources and leaving it open to decay. Alternatively excavation within...

Abweb TRP in Tree Root Protection Abweb TRP offers a practical alternative to traditional methods of construction of paths, roads and parking areas in and around trees.
