Rootball fixing system, including root-ball mat, is the preferred method of securing rootballed, airpot and containerised semi-mature trees. The ease of installation and lack of unsightly guy wires makes it the first choice of customers.

The root-ball mat allows secure positioning of newly transplanted trees, whilst offering major benefits over traditional root support systems.

Available in 3 standard sizes, the root-ball mat can be tailored to suit most rootball dimensions. This significant development allows faster installation and provides a greater contact surface area at the top of the rootballed or container grown tree.

• Reduced overall installation time.

• More secure fixing creating better establishment.

• No unsightly stakes or timber above ground.

• Suitable for most rootballed and containerised stock.

Percussion Driven Earth Anchor is a unique, modern and versatile device that can be rapidly installed in three steps using simple hand or powered tools. Designed, developed and manufactured in Australia for challenging Southern Hemisphere conditions the Earth Anchors are built extra tough to stringent Australian standards thereby guaranteeing safe products and consistent quality.

These systems are specifically designed to provide security and stability to the transplanted tree for up to five years whilst the roots establish themselves. Thereafter key elements of the system will degrade to allow unrestricted root growth.

The following anchors are used in our tree systems and are selected according to the size of the tree, the design and layout of the planting area and local soil and weather conditions.

Bespoke solutions are available upon request.
