We have recently published the seventh edition of our Urban Tree Design Guide. Produced in a durable hardback format, the guide is an essential resource for everybody involved in urban design and landscaping. At 210 pages long, it is also one of the most comprehensive guides to urban tree planting ever produced.
The Urban Tree Design Guide contains information on a wide variety of relevant topics, including the benefits of urban tree planting, suitable species for the urban environment and the features of a successful tree pit design. Also included are comprehensive technical details for all Greenleaf tree pit products including the new StrataCell structural soil support system.
A highlight of the guide is its incorporation of twenty-three pre-drawn tree pit designs that are suitable for a wide variety of tree planting situations; from simple tree pits for standard trees in soft landscaping through to fully featured designs for hard paved areas that include components such as root barriers, soil structure modules, irrigation systems, tree grilles and guards. A CD is supplied with the design guide that includes the technical tree pit drawings in different CAD formats, offering significant time savings and design flexibility. The all new Arborflow SUDs tree pit design is also featured.
We’ve put a huge amount of work into this new edition of the Urban Tree Design Guide and are very pleased with the response it has generated from the landscape architects who have received a copy. We’ve had a many positive comments praising both the content and the layout. We conceived the guide to be something that is genuinely useful for everybody involved in landscape design and we are certain that a great many landscape architects will find it so beneficial that they will be very glad to have their own personal copy.
