TreeRaft Soil is a specially engineered growing medium designed to work in tandem with the TreeRaft System, a widely adopted solution for tree planting in urban environments subject to heavy vehicle and pedestrian loading. This unique soil blend acts as a structural rootzone, supporting healthy tree establishment while resisting compaction and structural failure in areas such as streetscapes, car parks, regeneration projects, and heavily trafficked pedestrianised areas.
The soil’s carefully balanced open structure allows for the natural growth of tree roots while maintaining excellent load-bearing properties. This ensures the root system receives consistent oxygen, moisture, and nutrients, all critical for tree health and long-term survival in compacted or engineered landscapes.
Used within the geocellular framework of the TreeRaft System, TreeRaft Soil helps form a stable yet biologically active root environment beneath hard surfaces. It also supports sustainable drainage (SuDS) by allowing water infiltration and retention, contributing to urban greening and climate resilience strategies.
Whether you're designing for a single specimen tree or a connected tree pit system in urban masterplanning, TreeRaft Soil delivers essential structural integrity and growing performance without compromising tree vitality.
