However, the success of tree-planting initiatives heavily depends on the choice of planting media. In this blog, we will delve into various tree planting systems, including soil cells, gravel-based structural soil, and sand-based structural soil, comparing their features, advantages, and environmental considerations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Soil Cells:<\/strong><br \/>\nSoil cells are\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/greenblue.com\/na\/product-category\/soil-cells\/\">load-bearing soil support systems<\/a> designed to prevent soil compaction while providing ample rooting space for trees.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/greenblue.com\/na\/products\/rootspace\/\"><strong>RootSpace<\/strong><\/a>, a market leader manufactured in the US, offers 97% root-accessible volume, making it ideal for large-volume tree pits. Additionally, it can be used in paved and vehicular trafficked areas with minimal surface coverage. Soil cells, such as RootSpace, can also serve as stormwater treatment systems, storing rainwater, filtering pollutants and nourishing trees. The patented airflow lid ensures proper soil aeration, promoting tree health. RootSpace\u2019s use of US-sourced recycled materials and unique lattice structure highlights its high strength and environmental sustainability.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_131727\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-131727\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-131730 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/RootSpace-Manufacture.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/RootSpace-Manufacture.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/RootSpace-Manufacture-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/RootSpace-Manufacture-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/RootSpace-Manufacture-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/RootSpace-Manufacture-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/RootSpace-Manufacture-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-131727\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">RootSpace manufacturing. Made in the US from recycled and recyclable material.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Gravel-based Structural Soil:<\/strong><br \/>\nGravel-based structural soil, developed in Europe, utilizes aggregate stone as a structural component to support paved surfaces, with soil-filled gaps for root growth. However, the usable soil fraction is limited to approximately 20% of the total volume, necessitating larger tree pits compared to soil cell systems. Installation can be time-consuming, requiring on-site mixing and additional considerations such as biochar supplementation. Environmental concerns arise from the extraction of suitable stone and freight movement, impacting the product\u2019s carbon footprint.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sand-based Structural Soil:<\/strong><br \/>\nOriginally popular but now declining in use, sand-based structural soil consists of a sand-based mix with traces of composted green waste. Installed in layers and compacted, it must strike a delicate balance to avoid impeding root growth or causing pavement deformation. Challenges such as low nutrient levels and loss of tree health and vigor have contributed to its decreased popularity.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-131886 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/greenblue.com\/na\/comparing-tree-planting-media-a-comprehensive-overview\/soil-cells-1-2\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Soil-Cells-1.jpg?wsr\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-131716\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Soil-Cells-1.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Soil-Cells-1-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Soil-Cells-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Soil-Cells-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Soil-Cells-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Soil-Cells-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-131716'>\n\t\t\t\tTree root establishment in raft based system. 6 years after planting.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/greenblue.com\/na\/comparing-tree-planting-media-a-comprehensive-overview\/tree-sand-1-2\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Tree-sand-1.jpg?wsr\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-131721\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Tree-sand-1.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Tree-sand-1-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Tree-sand-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Tree-sand-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Tree-sand-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Tree-sand-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-131721'>\n\t\t\t\tTree root establishment in raft based system. 6 years after planting.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>While soil cell systems offer significant advantages for urban tree planting, it\u2019s essential to compare various options available in the market. Some soil cell systems utilize column-based structures, which differ from the lattice design of RootSpace. These column-based systems often use virgin-sourced materials and may claim comparable functionality to lattice structures. However, concerns arise regarding lateral loading and root-accessible volume. Unlike the interlocking lattice structure of RootSpace, column-based systems may not provide optimal rooting space, limiting the long-term health and stability of trees. Additionally, the sourcing of virgin materials and overseas manufacturing can impact environmental sustainability and product availability. When considering soil cell systems, it\u2019s crucial to prioritize root-accessible volume, load-bearing capacity, and environmental credentials to ensure the successful establishment and growth of urban trees.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_133578\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-133578\" style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-133578 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Small-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Small-1.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Small-1-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Small-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Small-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Small-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/greenblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Small-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-133578\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">RootSpace Installation \u2013 Northern Illinois University &#8211; Holmes Student Center &#8211; Dekalb, IL<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em>While from our UK office, this recent<strong>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/greenblue.com\/gb\/podcasts\/discussing-urban-tree-planting-media-maintenance-and-installation-with-mark-syrett\/\">podcast episode<\/a><\/strong> is applicable worldwide.
