Our Solutions Landscaping and Tree Root ProtectionWhen it comes to landscaping and arboriculture, the protection of trees and their roots is especially important as it helps to create an attractive and aspirational scheme that people will enjoy long into the future. Large trees are desirable additions to developments as they have been proven to provide substantial social, economic and environmental benefits. Research has proven big trees can improve our mental health through psychological relaxation and stress alleviation, increase property values, minimise the heat island effect in towns and cities, reduce pollution and noise, provide the obvious habitat for wildlife and manage stormwater run-off. At present 50% of a world's population live in towns and cities, by 2050 this number is expected to increase to 66%. The rapid expansion of cities puts pressure on forests, landscapes and green areas. When large green spaces are not always possible, ensuring we have the infrastructure to make our urban environment greener is vital for communities. To enable this to happen, we have a range of landscaping and tree-planting products created by our experts so that you can rest assured any trees planted will be sure to flourish.

Looking for tree root protection?ProtectaWeb prevents damage to tree rootsWhether you're building pathways, roads, car parks or lorry parks, ProtectaWeb can provide guaranteed* tree root protection in all types of soils, without any digging required. The system is simply placed on the existing ground, filled and finished with a porous surface. The cells are filled with a clean angular stone which allows drainage and aeration through the cells. Perforated cell walls provide drainage, minimising hydrostatic build-up while ensuring the maximum supply of water to the tree roots, even when installed on a gradient. Solutions forLandscaping & weed suppressionGeosynthetics, particularly geotextiles like WeedShield and MultiTrack, offer transformative solutions in both grand and modest landscaping projects. Our geosynthetics excel in ground reinforcement, erosion control, and drainage, crucial for maintaining the integrity and aesthetics of landscaped areas. When planning for a landscaping project, Weed suppression is a significant consideration. Geotextiles act as a barrier to prevent weed growth, ensuring the beauty of the landscape is preserved with minimal maintenance.Crafted for functionality and quality, our weed suppressant range comes in three distinct variants designed to meet various gardening and landscaping needs. Ready to get involved Supporting tender bidsWe’re an advocate of early engagement because if a Geoworks engineering manager is engaged at the tender stage, the impact on the savings to reduce time and money can also assist contractors in winning tenders. Another benefit of early engagement is that geogrids can be manufactured to the exact width that the contractor needs, suiting the site-specific requirements and creating an even more cost-effective grid. Simply removing a longitudinal overlap in the geogrid layout can save a further 10 per cent in product costs alone. Small changes but big savings are available. However, all isn’t lost if engagement comes afterwards as savings can still be introduced.
