How ProtectaWeb tree root protection system works

ProtectaWeb is a proven no-dig method of enabling the creation of accessways or parking areas close to nearby trees. The unique composition and strength of ProtectaWeb ensures this can be done without compacting the soil, which can cause irreparable harm to the tree’s life support system. Legislation is in place to ensure the construction industry preserves trees where appropriate.

ProtectaWeb provides a matrix that contains and confines granular infill materials. This provides a stable, uncompacted, composite matrix with an enhanced angle of internal friction, significantly reducing the loads imposed on soils and tree roots beneath.

The perforated cell walls provide lateral drainage, minimising hydrostatic build-up while ensuring the maximum supply of water to tree roots, even when installed on a gradient.
