connecting green and infrastructure

Our GreenMax products are used to protect and establish newly transplanted trees, and also to invigorate and enhance the future growth and value of existing trees. Previously called DeepRoot Europe, we supplied proven root control products from the American company DeepRoot, who have a leading market position in the field of tree root guidance and tree root barriers since 1976. These high quality barriers and guiding products are the accepted solution to prevent damage caused by tree roots, such as raised paving and to pipes and cables. We have recognised the need for a complete planting...

Root and Water Management Applications: - Silva Cell® creates a large space for the tree roots to grow. This space is filled with uncompacted soil to make sure that urban trees are able to grow into big and healthy adult trees. - Silva Cell® also provides very effective storm water storage (storage capacity +/- 25%)

Silva Cell® Root and Water Management The limiting factors in the growth of urban trees are small tree pit volume and highly compacted, poor-quality soil which can be found in urban areas. The Silva Cell® system provides a large volume for the roots to grow while maximising the usable space both above and below ground. The system can be applied in areas where more space for the roots is needed. Silva Cell® is suitable for all traffic loads. The system also has a large capacity to store excess storm water (+/-25%). The modular design is flexible and ideal for almost any application as the...

Pressure-Distributing Drainage Plate Product specifications SandwichPanel 74 is the new improved version on previous sandwich-systems: “the lowest installation depth on the market, with a high load capacity”. Principle of the Sandwich Construction The sandwich construction replaces the foundation layer, creating a thinner base course and increasing the available tree root space. The panels carry and distribute the load pressure in combination with geotextiles. SandwichPanel 74 is specially developed for situations where the traffic loads cannot fully be handled by tree substrates and to...

Root Barrier or Root Guidance system? How to choose the right solution Damage caused by tree roots In our increasingly urbanised environment tree root growth can cause serious damage to our roads, pavements and underground infrastructure. To prevent this damage systems have been developed to stop or reduce unwanted root growth. There are two groups of root panels to stop damage: the root guidance system and root barriers. The two systems may seem alike but they perform very different functions. HDPE Root Barrier The difference between root barriers and root guidance A root barrier has...

Key points: Installation above grade The guiding panels and the vertically installed root barriers need to be installed 1 to 2 cm above grade to avoid roots to grow over the system. When this aesthetically is not an option and the panel will be placed at grade, please make sure to cut away rhizomes which may grow over the panel. Height of the panel/barrier Choosing the right height depends on: 1) The depth of the protected area/object 2) The ground water level Most roots do not grow in wet soil. Therefore our advice is to make sure that there is a distance of at least 20 cm between the...
