RootSpace
Create large volumes of uncompacted soil below paved surfaces to support healthy urban trees
Creating Space for
Healthy Urban Trees
RootSpace® provides a high-strength structural framework that protects uncompacted soil beneath streets, sidewalks, plazas and other paved areas. By separating surface loading from the rooting environment below, it creates generous soil volume for root development, helping trees establish successfully and develop the healthy root systems needed to support long-lived urban canopy, delivering long-term environmental, social, and economic benefits.
How RootSpace Works
RootSpace® uses a high-strength modular framework to support paved surfaces while keeping rooting soil below uncompacted. This separation protects the growing environment and gives urban trees space to establish and mature.

Integrated Tree Pits
Maximizes uncompacted rooting space to support establishment and long-term tree growth.
Modular components simplify installation across a range of project conditions.
Supports pedestrian and vehicle loads while protecting the soil environment below.
Made in North America from 100% recycled material.
Flexible layouts accommodate utilities and site constraints.
Key Benefits
Part of a Complete Tree Pit System
Introducing ArborSystem
RootSpace can form an effective structural soil framework within wider tree pit and stormwater systems.
Within ArborSystem, RootSpace provides structural support beneath paved surfaces while maintaining continuous volumes of uncompacted soil for root development.
Where stormwater management is required, RootSpace can also be incorporated into ArborFlow tree pits, allowing the rooting environment to contribute to water storage and management.
