Rough&Ready Basic Hug a Tubs

An integrated clean-lined look is achieved by fitting the beams in a way that they appear to go through the entirety of the structure. This creates benches on one or both sides of the tree planter. All Black, made from 100% recycled plastic, is a sustainable alternative to wood. The black material has an industrial look and is maintenance-free.

    Years of research and experience with countless urban projects have resulted in the Treetec® system which is applied in Streetlife’s tree tubs. The Treetec® tree care system allows trees to develop optimally in planters.

    Treetec® Basic
    Treetec® Basic

    Treetec® Basic is a basic care kit for ensuring healthy growth in tree planters. The kit consists of an oxygen circulation system, thermal insulation and sub-soil root ball fixing system.

     

     

     

    Treetec® Bottom Up
    Treetec® Bottom Up

    With Treetec® Bottom Up, the water reservoir is situated at the bottom of the tree tub or tree isle. The reservoir’s capillary tubes provide improved water circulation that significantly reduces the frequency with which watering and maintenance are required in the growing season. Over time, the new Treetec® Bottom Up Biodegradable Column will decompose and be absorbed into the substrate. 

     

    The four stadiums of the Biodegradable Capillary Columns are depicted below:

    • A The installation of the columns against the root cloth.
    • B The first root growth in the column structure. First decrease of moisture-retaining fibers in the column.
    • C Further root growth in the columns. Partial degradation of the cylindrical column.
    • D A fully grown columnstructure has replaced he original capillary column. An optimal retention of water and oxygen by the roots now exists.
