The Plantcotex RootStock is an octagonal modular system that assembles into a structural framework capable of supporting heavy vertical and lateral loads while providing a large volume of compacted soil to encourage root development for planted vegetation. Its wide openings allow the passage of pipes and underground networks. Roots can grow freely, and the less compacted soil becomes more permeable to water.
Description:
For a tree to grow properly, it needs an adequate volume of available soil for its root system. In urban environments, vegetation is often planted in poor and highly compacted soils. As a result, root development is restricted, which directly impacts tree growth and overall health.
Using a root management system in urban environments offers several advantages. It helps protect infrastructure such as sidewalks, roads and underground utilities by directing root growth. It also promotes deep rooting, ensuring long-term tree stability while safeguarding urban surfaces. In addition, by improving access to water and nutrients, trees benefit from better growth even in constrained urban conditions. This provides a sustainable solution for improving coexistence between trees and urban infrastructure.
The Plantcotex RootStock is an octagonal modular system designed to support heavy traffic loads while providing maximum soil volume to balance infrastructure requirements with healthy tree growth. Made from recycled HDPE, this system features openings that allow the passage of pipes and underground networks while supporting root development.
Capable of withstanding loads associated with urban infrastructure, it provides trees with a large usable soil volume. With reduced compaction, the soil becomes more permeable and better drained.
