Types of tree protectors and grates

There are a few different types of tree protectors and grates that are available in  New Zealand and some of the most common include:

Grilles

Tree grilles or tree grates are metal gratings placed at ground level to help protect the roots of young saplings from being tampered with. These guards have different designs on them so they add aesthetic.

Concrete guards

Concrete guards are great ways to protect against grazing animals like rabbits and deer. They add some aesthetics to public places and can also provide seating for the general public.

Mesh guards

Mesh guards are stretchable and laced around the trunks that are at least 120mm in diameter. They allow for sufficient air to go around the trunk and roots. These guards also don't cause any water build-up around the roots.

Metal plant guards

These small tree protectors are quite versatile in use, and because they're made out of metal they are sturdy too. These guards are low and are ideal for smaller species, shrubs, flowers, fruits, and vegetables.

The advantages of high-quality tree protectors and grates

There are a number of advantages to choosing high-quality tree protectors and grates in New Zealand. High-quality tree protectors and grates are essential for maintaining healthy and vibrant trees in urban and suburban areas. They are carefully designed to protect young trees from damage, promote growth, enhance aesthetics, and create a safe environment for pedestrians. The quality materials used in these high-quality options provide long-term sustainability and important environmental benefits such as oxygen production and carbon sequestration. In summary, they are extremely well-balanced products that deliver on multiple fronts providing a much stronger return on investment.

How to choose a tree protector and grate that’s right for you

To select the right tree protector and grate for your tree, you will need to check what types of trees the product is made for as they may be specific to some species of trees and not others. You will also want to consider the material of the product and how it is going to withstand the environment and climate it’s being installed in. Ensure that the grate matches the tree's size and doesn't pose a tripping hazard, and select a style that complements the surrounding landscape, architecture and any other nearby features like planters which you might want to coordinate with. Also, consider the installation process and maintenance requirements when making your decision.
