TREE GUARD PROTECTION


Did you know that 50% or more of all newly planted trees rarely make it past two years? When planting trees we need to ensure that the trees we plant are well protected from from the elements and human activity.

There are many factors that work to destroy the thousands of trees we plant in our communities each year, including:

  • Damage from sidewalk traffic, car doors, bumpers and others
  • Damage from bikes that are chained to trees
  • Pets digging and relieving themselves in tree pits
  • Bad soil and poor water penetration to the roots
  • Improper care techniques including neglect and litter

Each factor requires a specific guard to proect our trees.

Benefits of using Mesh or Plastic Tree Guards on tubestock or young plants: Tree guards Tree Guards promote the survival and growth of the trees we plant.. They provide a micro environment for the tree to grow while reducing frost and decreasing wind stress. Tree guards protect young trees from forging animals and herbicides that may be sprayed in the air - the tree gets a chance at survival by establishing healthy roots that will help it develop steadily.

Benefits of using Tree Frames on newly planted street trees. Tree Frames are a visible and psychical protection for young trees. Made from timber the frames create a square perimeter around the tree. Tree Frames raise awareness to those around them of the need to be more careful, i.e. to stop harassing trees either by littering or chaining bikes to them. Tree Frames also stop the possibility of car doors opening onto the trees or people walking over them. All Stake Supply provide custom built Tree Frames to suit any level of protection and any size of tree.
