But we know that planting a tree is just the start. For a tree to live its best life as part of an urban ecosystem, it must be installed in a way that will support its growth and enable healthy development.<\/p>\n<h3>Challenging compromises<\/h3>\n<p>But it\u2019s not easy, is it? Our profession is full of tensions. As landscapers and specifiers, we want to create urban environments that are functional, attractive and sustainable, where trees are celebrated and allowed to thrive. Yet competing with these goals are issues of <strong>cost and space<\/strong>. These concerns are often significant. Our challenge is to champion the presence of healthy long-lived trees while ensuring our colleagues and collaborators understand the need to invest in <strong>high-quality design<\/strong> and <strong>attention-to-detail.<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_39571\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39571\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-39571\" src=\"https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/st-peters-square-testimonial-page.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/st-peters-square-testimonial-page.jpg 640w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/st-peters-square-testimonial-page-600x375.jpg 600w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/st-peters-square-testimonial-page-300x188.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-39571\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">St Peters Square Manchester<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Comparing the alternatives<\/h3>\n<p>One of the questions we are most frequently asked is <strong>\u2018Can I get away with a cheaper alternative?\u2019<\/strong> We understand why. And it can be a difficult question to answer. The popularity of <em>affordable planting media<\/em> like sand, structural soil and compacted raft systems often tempts clients or quantity surveyors to cut corners when it comes to tree planting.\u00a0 We have unfortunately seen the consequences of other systems<\/p>\n<p>But is there a risk of a false economy? Within complex designs, where the long-term health of trees deserves to be taken seriously, those planted using GreenBlue Urban <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenblue.com\/products\/arborsystem\/\">ArborSystem<\/a> components &#8211; including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenblue.com\/products\/rootspace\/\">RootSpace<\/a> pavement support systems, (commonly known as soil cells) have been found to out-perform traditional alternatives when it comes to drainage and aeration. And in the long run, that performance means money is saved.<\/p>\n<h3>Why replace trees before their prime when you don\u2019t need to?<\/h3>\n<p>Landscaping professionals specify and plant trees for the benefits they bring to our built environment. Unhealthy trees, withered and replaced before they reach maturity, never grow to a point where their real benefits are realised. GreenBlue Urban\u2019s studies show that in many cases when trees are constantly replaced in a poorly-designed environment, the hoped-for benefits of a green tree-rich environment never materialise.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_39576\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39576\" style=\"width: 751px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-39576\" src=\"https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Sun-Street-Braeem-Award-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"751\" height=\"698\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Sun-Street-Braeem-Award-1.jpg 751w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Sun-Street-Braeem-Award-1-600x558.jpg 600w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Sun-Street-Braeem-Award-1-300x279.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 751px) 100vw, 751px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-39576\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sun Street, Broadgate London<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Replacement of unhealthy trees wastes money<\/h3>\n<p>Over an extended period of time, unhealthy urban trees must be replaced. Furthermore, a new tree, in the same substandard conditions as its predecessor, is doomed to the same fate. The expense of repeated replanting eventually mounts, while an initial investment in high-quality planting is a one-off cost that pays for itself through the long life of the healthy tree.<\/p>\n<p>GreenBlue\u2019s collaboration with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treeconomics.co.uk\/\">Treeconomics<\/a> enabled a detailed look at the long-term economics of repeated tree replacement. As with any significant project, a breakeven point is reached after several years, where the numerous benefits of a tree begin to exceed its initial cost. But in locations where the cost of replacement becomes an ongoing necessity, the breakeven point is sometimes never reached at all, as the costs keep mounting, and the benefits never materialise.<\/p>\n<h3>Calculating the long-term savings<\/h3>\n<p>We took a <strong>50-year view <\/strong>of the situation, reflecting the long-term view that comes so naturally to the landscaping profession.<\/p>\n<p>When all was calculated, the repeated replacement cost of a poor-quality tree installation brings developers and clients a loss of around <strong>\u00a312k<\/strong> per tree.<\/p>\n<p>A GreenBlue Urban installation, on the other hand, is specified for the long term, meaning that not only are costs saved, but quantifiable benefits are really allowed to show themselves on a project\u2019s balance sheet. There is a net long-term benefit approaching <strong>\u00a33k<\/strong> per tree.<\/p>\n<h5><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-39581\" src=\"https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Cost-Benefit-Graph-Page-29-1024x921-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"921\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Cost-Benefit-Graph-Page-29-1024x921-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Cost-Benefit-Graph-Page-29-1024x921-1-600x540.jpg 600w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Cost-Benefit-Graph-Page-29-1024x921-1-300x270.jpg 300w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Cost-Benefit-Graph-Page-29-1024x921-1-768x691.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/strong><\/h5>\n<h3><strong>An investment that pays for its<\/strong>elf<\/h3>\n<p>Landscapers and project managers increasingly tell us that by taking tree health seriously at the design stage, the concerns of clients, local authorities and environmental bodies are satisfied not just in the short term, but several years down the line.
