Tree roots are often located within the top 600mm of the surface layers of soil where construction work and compaction can damage or even destroy them. The Geoweb® tree root protection system distributes loads laterally, reducing compaction and its effect on the tree root zone.
The Geoweb® TRP system complies with the necessary Arboricultural Practice Note APN12, along with the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, to offer a solution for sites with “no dig” restrictions.
Geoweb® also provides strength to porous infill material, controls hydrocarbon pollution, and is manufactured from the highest quality, high-strength virgin polyethylene with a textured surface and perforated cell walls.
Greenfix provides free site-specific solutions calculated by its team of engineers.
