Tree grates are concrete or metal frames that surround a tree's base to shield it from foot and vehicle traffic. By serving as a decorative border around trees, these items also contribute to improving the aesthetic value of streetscapes. The said products can be built to accommodate any size tree and come in a range of sizes, forms, and materials, including metal, concrete, and plastic. Tree grates let rainwater and nutrients reach the roots of the tree while also helping to keep soil and mulch in place. These offerings also aid in keeping weeds from sprouting up and stunting the tree's growth.
