When the grade around an established tree is being raised, tree wells prevent injury to the tree. Natural Directions takes precautions by installing an open-joint wall of mainly timber or Keystone® block that keeps this added soil from affecting the vital root systems of feature trees. Our experts construct an aeration system to provide buried root systems with the needed soil gas exchange and drainage systems to prevent the harmful ponding of excess water.
Natural Directions will team with your land planner and landscape architect to evaluate and construct the retaining structure that is best for each property. Whether block or timber, we focus on developing the most aesthetically pleasing solution for your site. For some, a simple, unobtrusive leveled section of a hilly area is just the right solution. However, an eye-catching multi-terraced wall could be an impressive showpiece in your development plan.
