The Plastic Revolution
Green-tech takes its environmental impact very seriously,
ensuring every element of the business is conscious of reducing
our plastics. Significant developments include the introduction of
the Treebio biodegradable tree planting range – including spirals,
pegs and mulch mats. The new range is part of our long-term
plan to assist landscape contractors and the industry as a whole
with their own green credentials. We admit there is no quick fix to
plastic reduction in tree planting, but we can assure you we are
looking at options to reduce plastic in the environment.

Biodegradable material facts


The material used in the manufacture of the TreeBio range conforms to EU
guidelines and has been tested at an independent laboratory to be classified
as fully compostable. It has also gained the DIN CERTO certificate.

The TreeBio guard will be attacked initially by UV degradation to start the


break up process. Biodegradable stabilisers are added to the material before
the manufacturing process to stabilise the spiral sufficiently to withstand this
UV degradation for 4 – 5 years in the place of use.

How it works
The materials are made primarily of polylactic acid, a repeating chain of lactic
acid which undergoes a two-stage degradation process. The moisture and
heat present in a compost pile and the soil attacks the polymer chains and
splits them into much smaller parts of polymer and eventually pure lactic acid.

Microorganisms found in compost and soil will consume the lactic acids as
nutrients as a food source for them. The result is carbon dioxide, water and
humus which is a soil nutrient.

customers to recycle tree tubes once they have reached the end of their purpose and there is no longer a need for them as we’re
working to reduce the passage of plastics in the natural environment. We feel it is extremely important to recommend recycling
as and where possible, please contact your local authority or Technical Sales Advisor for more information regarding recycling.

Urban Tree Planting and Tree Irrigation

Tree Irrigation
Planting and
Urban Tree
Tree Irrigation
Tree irrigation systems are an essential tool to guarantee the success
of urban planted trees. Lack of water at the tree’s root ball can be
detrimental to the lifespan and survival of the tree. It is recommended
that when an urban tree is planted a tree irrigation system is put in
place to ensure the tree receives the best start. By proactively installing

Tree Root Protection


Terram Geocell
Tree Root Protection
Terram geocell protects tree root systems close to the surface by
ensuring the roots beneath are protected from vehicle loads by
confining the sub-base and stabilising the ground.

Infill is confined and ensures that downward forces are spread laterally,
reducing pressure on the sub-base and avoiding compaction which
can potentially damage tree roots.

Typical applications:
• Permanent woodland trails
• Paths and cycleways
• Driveways
• Roads
• Access routes
• Parking areas

ArborRaft Tree
Planting System
The ArborRaft System combines nutrient rich
ArborRaft Soil with exceptionally strong geocellular
units. Together they create a healthy growing space
for trees in areas subject to vehicle loadings and
trafficking.
Individual ArborRaft units are locked together to form a raft system
that sits within the tree pit, providing load bearing support and
reducing soil compaction.

The ArborRaft System works by spreading the load of any vehicle


movements around the tree’s rooting area. This eliminates soil
compaction of the growing media within the pit and maintains the
ideal growing environment for the trees to establish and mature.

The ArborRaft System accommodates vehicle loadings from cars


through to heavy goods vehicles. The open structure of the individual
units acts as an air gap diverting root growth away from the pavement
towards nutrient-rich soil. It is a tried and tested system that has
successfully been installed into projects across the UK and Europe.

How it works:

Urban Tree Planting and Tree Irrigation

ArborRaft Soil
Green-tree
ArborRaft Soil has been specially developed to be used in urban tree ArborRaft Soil
planting landscaping systems for the UK market to work as a rootzone
with the ArborRaft System. This ensures the structure of the growing
media remains open and the correct level of water, air and nutrients are
transported through the soil to the tree’s roots. The design of the system
working in partnership with the ArborRaft soil prevents compaction
within the tree pit, protecting and enhancing the tree’s root growth.

‘In dense urban areas, the amount of soil installed will, to a large extent, Green-tree
determine the size the tree will reach over its lifespan.‘ ArborRaft Soil
TDAG, Trees in the Townscape Report

‘Together with soil aeration, providing adequate rooting


volume is the other fundamental precondition to secure a
healthy cohabitation between trees and urban infrastructure.’

gt Resi-Grille
The gt Resi-Grille and guard have been developed after receiving
requests from contractors across the UK, requiring a tree grille that
offers the aesthetic and porous properties of resibond. The cast iron
grille has a recess of 50mm that allows the grille to be filled with gt
Resibond to make a porous surface. When filled, the gt Resi-Grille
supports the load of street traffic protecting the rootball of the tree.
Not only does the new gt Resi-Grille look contemporary; it is robust
and hard-wearing and it is able to withstand trafficking from pedestrians.
The gt Resi-Grille also offer a clean surface – no rubbish, cigarette ends
or leaves will become trapped within the gt Resi-Grille. POA

Pre-cast versions of gt Resi-Grille also available

gt Resibond
gt Resibond is an easy to install porous resin bonded surface layer of
aggregate, suitable for the surrounds of trees within hard-landscaped
areas. gt Resibond can be used in areas where conventional means of
mulching with loose materials, may not be practical due to the constant
displacement of the material increasing maintenance time and costs.
Regarded in the industry as a ‘resi-bound’ system, gt Resibond relies on
the aggregate and the resin being agitated together in a mixer, and then
spread over the prepared base with hand floats and trowels.

Benefits:
•  Once laid and allowed to cure, it is virtually maintenance free
•  Categorised as a hard surface, it has the attributes of being durable
and hard wearing; able to withstand pedestrian trafficking, wheel
chairs and prams
•  Is porous allowing the free flow of air and moisture in the soil thus
maintaining a healthy environment for the tree to develop

gt Fortress Grille
The gt Fortress Tree Grille is a stylish and practical tree grille with the
urban setting in mind. The design allows paving to be continued almost
up to the tree trunk, protecting the trees root system from urban traffic
and soil compaction but also allowing rainwater through to maximise
irrigation and urban drainage.

To ensure the maintenance of the tree, a Mona Irrigation Unit can


be fitted seamlessly into the grille and paving scheme. As a standard
item, the gt Fortress Tree Grille is ideal for use with block paving, but
dimensions of the inner trays can be altered to suit other paving styles.
As with all gt tree grilles, the inner trays or grille sections are fastened
with security fixings and are fully removable allowing the tree to be Product specification
removed and replaced if required. Finish: Standard Hot Dip Galvanised. Can also be powder coated in
any RAL or BS colour.
Grille Size Aperture
1m x 1m 400mm Optional Finish: Can be manufactured in stainless steel with any
1.2m x 1.2m 400mm
grade of finish.
Size: Can be manufactured in any size to suit the paving scheme/pattern.
Tree Guard: Normally not required with this design, but a guard can be
manufactured as a bespoke product match the design scheme.

Fixing and installation


• The two halves of the outer frame are bolted together and fixed
directly to a level concrete pad foundation around the tree pit. To
avoid trip-hazard set pad foundation so that grille is flush with finished
paving level (ragged legs can be added if required).
• The inner trays can then be installed and fastened into place using the
fixing fillets, through-fixed to a captive nut in the outer frame braces.
• These fillets can then be used as lifting brackets if the inner tray
needs removing at a later date.
• Outer frame can be supplied toe in or toe out depending on site
needs, although toe out is a better structural unit.

Double tray option available – call for further information and technical drawings.

gt Fortress
Ring Guard
The gt Fortress Ring Guard is manufactured from structural grade
275 carbon steel made from recycled sources. It is fully welded
with a 50mm diameter tube top rail and 50mm by 5mm formed
flat bar uprights. Galvanised as a standard finish, powder coating is
available. The gt Fortress Ring Guard can be supplied as two halves
for assembly or as a complete ring encompassing the tree.

Collection
Tree Grilles
gt Dales Collection Tree Grilles provide protection for young
trees from vehicles and pedestrians in urban settings.

gt Dales Collection Tree Grilles are manufactured entirely in


the UK from 100% recycled materials, and are themselves
100% recyclable. Made from engineering grade 250 cast
iron, they are expected to last up to 100 years in normal use
- even with minimal or no maintenance and painting. This is
because 250 grade cast iron is not only incredibly durable,
it also does not rust in the traditional sense - in fact over a
100 year timescale, even if left unpainted, Green-tech tree
grilles will lose only a few microns to oxidisation.

Green-tech offer a standard range of tree grilles as well


as bespoke and one off products. gt Tree Grilles can be
supplied with both irrigation and/or uplighter holes.
We recommend that all grilles are fitted using a support
frame and security clamps.

Support Frames
gt Support Frames stabilise the grilles and helps to prevent shrinkage and subsidence of the tree pit. gt Security Clamps secure the individual sections
of the tree grille to each other and to the support frame, which increases the rigidity of the whole unit and prevents removal of the grille sections.

Tensar TriAx TX160 Geogrid
Tensar TriAx Geogrid is designed specially to stabilise construction
aggregate in larger projects. TriAx will hold the aggregate firmly in

Soil stabilisation geogrids are used in transient loading applications


NEW
and rely mostly on tensile stiffness, geogrid-soil interlock and the
resulting soil confinement/lateral restraint. These confinement-based
applications include subgrade stabilisation, pavement optimisation and
soft soil capping.

The hexagonal grid works by using a rib structure to create triangular


holes within the hexagonal structure as a way of adding durability
and strength. Manufactured from polypropylene it’s been punched
and stretched in a hexagonal pattern to give a stabilising layer to a
substrate. With this product you’re able to increase the bearing capacity
of your project, reduce the excavation required on site and control the
settlement of aggregate, keeping it all in the correct place for longer.

Features
• Reducing aggregate layer thickness and associated costs
• Reduced excavation, waste and disposal
(potential savings on landfill tax)
• Increase design life and reduce whole life costs
• Programme savings via rapid construction
• Increasing bearing capacity
• Control of differential settlement and surface rutting
• Reduced carbon footprint and improved sustainability
• Ease of handling and simple installation with associated
time and cost savings

Erosion Control Exclusive to Green-tech

gt Ecomatt Rolls
Manufactured in the UK, exclusively for Green-tech Ltd from
100% recycled materials. The product is needle punched onto
a degradable polythene backing, to allow both air and water
to pass through the layers.
Benefits:
• Helps to suppress competing weed growth within the
vicinity of the plants root development area.
• Allows water and air to percolate through the wool layer
and helps to retain moisture in time of drought.
• The matting/roll acts as an insulator and absorbs heat from
the sun thus creating an assisted environment for the plant
to establish itself.
• Totally degradable, lasting a minimum of two seasons.

Sedum Matting
The ideal choice for extensive green roofs, it is drought tolerant and
therefore needs only a shallow substrate layer. Sedum increases biodiversity
and also contributes to the many other benefits associated with planting
green roofs including insulation, improved air quality in urban landscapes
and increase habitat creation. The plants also offer many different
leaf types and flowers, resulting in a blend of beautiful textures when
planted together. Roll size: 1.2m2 (0.6m x 2.0m) or 2.4m2 (1.2m x 2.0m)

Low Maintenance Turf


An attractive fine turf with slow growth habitat resulting in reduced
mowing requirements and fewer clippings to remove. For extensive green
roofs requiring a turf grass finish with low maintenance requirements.

simply and effectively.
Incorporating a minimum of eight types of sedum into each individual
cassette, the system is designed to provide an instant and practical solution
to green roofs. Sedum is the ideal choice for extensive green roofs as it
requires minimal maintenance, is drought tolerant and requires a minimal
substrate layer. It is a well-rooted, low-growing plant therefore it is ideal for
the harsh, open environments typically associated with green roofs.
Green roofs are quickly becoming a great resource for urban greening
and conversions of large open roof spaces, with the evolution of
sedum cassettes green roofs are achievable for all.
• Instant and practical solution • Simple installation
• Ideal for harsh, open environments • Minimal maintenance
• Drought tolerant

Simple installation process


The cassettes are designed to simply fit together to any formation
required. Each cassette incorporates a drainage layer to aid capillary action
and a filter layer to ensure that the substrate is not washed away. The
lightweight substrate has been specifically developed for use in green roof
installations with controlled levels of fertility to support sedum growth.

Wildflower Seed

John Chambers is the leading brand of British


native wildflower seed in the UK, supplying
only high quality, hand cleaned seed to
Landscape Architects, Contractors and
Garden Designers for over 35 years.
The team behind John Chambers take pride in the quality of seed that
is supplied whether as part of a mix for an urban landscape project or
as a single species for a country garden design.
Selecting the correct wildflowers for a project can be a daunting
task. The professionals at John Chambers have researched soil types,
environmental considerations and flowering periods of each individual
stocked seed and use their extensive experience to provide expert
advice. We have developed a portfolio of prestige wildflower seed
mixtures that are specifically suited to particular growing environments
and soil types, producing healthy blooms and a balanced mix of flowers.

Wildflower Site Preparation


The site should be weed free. Annual weeds should be controlled by
mechanical means or by the use of contact based herbicide. Perennial
weeds, for example docks thistle, nettles and couch grass can be dealt with
using a translocated herbicide such as Round-Up. Cultivate to achieve a fine
seed bed, sow seed mix and then roll to ensure firmness. The best results
are obtained when there is good contact between the soil and the seeds.

Sowing Times
Sowing can best be achieved by mixing the seed with dry sand, dry
sifted topsoil or sawdust and evenly broadcast. It is important that the
seed is in contact with moisture in the soil so the seedbed should be
lightly raked and then rolled.

Measuring your pond, a simple guide


To work out the dimensions of your pond liner follow the calculation below:

Measure the pond length, width and depth at their widest point.

Length + (2 x Depth) + 1m = Total Length


Width + (2 x Depth) + 1m = Total Width

Total Length x Total Width = Size of Liner

Example
A pond is 10m long by 6m wide and has a depth of 2m.

Liner Length: 10 + (2 x 2) + 1 = 15m


Liner Width: 6 + (2 x 2) + 1 = 11m

Size of liner required = 15 x 11m (165m2)

Natural Swimming Pools


Natural swimming pools are natural systems where no chemicals are
required to disinfect the water, instead they use plants and biofilters
to keep the water clean. Biofilters are designed to purify water using
good bacteria and microorganisms however aquatic plants can also
act as a biofilter. The water then goes through a secondary filter to
remove sediments or bad bacteria before being filtered back
into the main swimming pool.

Ecoplug Max
Ecoplug Max is a patented tree stump control application. Each plug
contains 300mg of granular glyphosate which is released inside the
tree stump ensuring all of the active ingredient is carefully targeted
where it is needed.

The glyphosate is translocated through the stump and down


to the roots preventing new growth and leaving the stump to
gradually rot away.

Requires 13mm drill bit.

Benefits:
• Can be used in any weather and at any time of year
• Kills entire root system of the treated stump
• 95-100% efficiency on treated stumps
• Effective on a wide range of trees
• Supports the requirements of the Sustainable Use Directive
to minimise herbicide use and the Water Framework Directive to
prevent contamination of waterways with pesticides.

Stem Injection
Stem injection works by injecting a precise dose of herbicide into
each cane of the weed to be treated, typically Japanese Knotweed,
Giant Hogweed and other hollow stemmed species. This measured
application allows the herbicide to translocate throughout the roots
and rhizomes of the targeted plant.
Stem injection has a number of benefits over folia application of
herbicide. It can be applied in all weathers and maximises the herbicide
dose by eliminating waste and drift, delivering the optimum amount
to exactly where required. The treatment is generally effective in 2 – 3
weeks as translocation of the herbicide is quicker than folia application.

InjectorDos Pro
InjectorDos Pro is a metered-dose injection applicator for invasive
weed control, specifically designed for eliminating invasive weeds such
as Japanese Knotweed, Giant Hogweed and Horsetail.

ideal for eradicating dirt and mould, leaving
behind a clean and clear surface. It is
recommended for the removal of algae,

NEW
garden rooms.

The gt Anchor Base System eliminates the


need to use a traditional concrete base and
the associated draw backs including wasted
aggregates, lengthy drying times and
airborne dust.

Manufactured from 60% recycled steel, the


lightweight components of the system can
be quickly and easily installed with hand
tools or lightweight machinery without the
need for messy earth removal and digging,
thus cutting down on labour times and the
need for good access to site associated with
traditional concrete bases.

Once installed the base can be moved to


a new position or removed all together
without the need to break up concrete.

The system is more cost effective for these types of structures than
using a traditional concrete base. The larger structure – the larger
the saving over concrete.

Benefits and features:


• Site disruption minimal as no need for earth removal or digging
• Quick and simple installation – average sized shed or garden room
base can be completed in just a couple of hours
• No drying or curing time needed
• More cost effective than using a traditional concrete base
• Excellent for areas where machinery access is difficult
• No specialist tools required
• Manufactured from 60% recycled steel and is recyclable

allowing the plants to feed and water themselves
you gain bigger, stronger and longer lasting plants.
No more over watering, no more forgetting to
water, no more begging friends or relatives to pop
in to water while on holiday. Simply fit the Plantsava
tank, fill the reservoir and relax for up to six weeks.
Perfect for all types of planters, both indoor and
outdoor, flower beds, window boxes and hanging
baskets. Environmentally friendly product: 100%
water efficient and made from recycled
material in the UK.
For healthy looking plants and peace
of mind, get your Plantsava today!

Plantsava
The Plantsava delivers water and oxygen directly to the plants roots
where it is needed most. By installing a Plantsava tank at the base of
your planter the plant can be easily watered but at a much reduced
frequency. The Plantsava tank is easily installed at the base of the
planter and then covered with soil ready for planting. The tank is filled
through the filler pipe, a float in the filler pipe will tell you when the
reservoir is full. The water then travels from the roots upwards for up
to 6 weeks without the need for refilling. The system helps your plants
establish a healthy root system, which means healthy looking plants.
