Permeable tree surrounds with cement

Use :

• Highly permeable - allows large amounts of rainwater to pass through into the ground while providing a hard surface
• Under the tree, it forms a flat and sturdy surface.
• Benefit from the draining properties of the mixture.
• Tree surround on sidewalks, traffic islands, squares, roundabouts, schoolyards

Benefits :

Ensures better growth :

• Removes the compaction around the trunks
• Improves plant respiration
• Better water penetration to the roots

Stabilizes the surface :

• The agglomeration of wood chips prevents from projections outside the surface.
• Allows staking and guying
• Its implementation on a minimum thickness of 7 cm allows the traffic of light vehicle

Makes cleaner entourage :

• Papers, cigarettes and other trash will no longer be visible.
• Weeds will no longer find the conditions for their growth.
• Easy cleaning by suction, blowing or pressure washer.
• To get rid of dog excrement, spray 2 to 3 times a year our natural and non-toxic repellent AMI-NET.

Easy and economic :

• This draining system provides an effective and economic response to landscape problems.
• The implementation does not require other skills than those necessary for the implementation of conventional concrete.
• Climatic conditions required for the implementation are those of traditional concrete.

Stages of implementation :

1-    Dig 7 to 8 cm around the tree.

2-    Prepare the mixture (according to the instructions mentioned in the technical sheet). Upon request, the mixture can be made with a vertical axis mixer of 500 liters.

3-    Pour the mixture.

4-    With a rake, equalize and adjust to + 0.5 cm of the edges.

5-    Pack down lightly with the back of the rake with more emphasis on the edges.

6-    Level the surface with a plaster float.

7-    With a trowel, make a hole around the trunk that will allow the tree to grow during the first 2 to 4 years. Later the surroundings can be cut out with a jigsaw in order to adapt it to the growth of the tree.

8-    Establish a protection perimeter for at least 24 hours.

9-    In case of hot temperatures or dry wind, cover the surface in order to prevent it from drying before the cement settles.
