Some sites can accommodate reasonable soil depths before the drainage layer and waterproofing membrane is reached, but many have limitations in this regard. These limitations can be due to weight constraints, or simple construction detailing \u2013 many developments use a lightweight void filler to create the illusion of soil depth but without the complication of tonnes of soil.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_57299\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-57299\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-57299\" src=\"https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/London-Wall-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/London-Wall-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/London-Wall-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/London-Wall-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/London-Wall-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/London-Wall-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/London-Wall.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-57299\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Linked below-ground StrataCell tree pits.

Working on these confined projects, the height of buildup or layer works is critical, and many designers wrongly assume that any tree will need a minimum of 1000mm of soil build-up, which is frankly not usually available. Using the GreenBlue Urban <a href=\"\/gb?p=35057\"><strong>StrataCell<\/strong><\/a> system, we have successfully managed to reduce the height requirement between the drainage layer and the underside of the paving build up to only 250mm, which opens up fresh opportunities in our urban areas.<\/p>\n<p>Reducing the rooting \u201cheight\u201d has other advantages too \u2013 it encourages the roots to spread outward more, increasing the tree\u2019s access to water (wider area) and reducing the point load weight of the growing tree (also wider area).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_57304\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-57304\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-57304 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Podium-Planting-Stepped-grille-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Podium-Planting-Stepped-grille-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Podium-Planting-Stepped-grille-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Podium-Planting-Stepped-grille-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Podium-Planting-Stepped-grille-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Podium-Planting-Stepped-grille-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Podium-Planting-Stepped-grille.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-57304\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Standard &amp; custom zeta tree grille for stepped planting.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Another important deliberation is regarding access to not only the tree but for access to surrounding buildings.
