A tree pit is the area that surrounds the base and roots of a tree planted in urban environments, such as busy roadsides, residential areas and public spaces. These tree pits are crucial to provide a well-draining space to ensure the tree can thrive in these urban environments that often have an otherwise compacted, low-nutrient ground.

Yes. Resin bound tree pits provide excellent protection for urban trees while supporting healthy root development. The 6-10mm aggregate grade creates a permeable surface that allows water, air and nutrients to reach the root system, while the bound surface prevents soil compaction from heavy foot traffic. This combination of permeability and protection makes resin tree pits an ideal solution for trees in busy streetscapes, helping them thrive in challenging urban environments.

The grade and quality of the aggregates you choose are crucial to the success of your project. At Grantex, we carefully source, screen and dry our aggregates using our own state-of-the-art facilities. We also conduct in-house laboratory testing to ensure the quality and suitability of our products for the intended application.

For a strong bond with resin, clean, dried aggregates are non-negotiable. This ensures there’s no cracking (provided proper installation procedures have been followed), prevents cloudy and uneven surface appearance and creates a much more durable, long-lasting surface.
