Innovating urban landscaping… one tree at a time.

The Healthy Tree Fertilization System^TM (HTFS) creates a unique solution to urban landscaping challenges. As the only system of its kind created to irrigate and fertilize trees within an urban setting, this patented system can be installed on new trees or be used to revitalize existing tree pits along sidewalks, streets and pedestrian areas.
The distinct underground irrigation system directs water straight to the tree’s root system, providing increased plant material sustainability and offers trees a greater life expectancy. The system’s perimeter design allows the roots to grow downward, as opposed to sprawling sideways, paving the way for healthier, longer-living trees while harmonizing with the urban environment.

Built strong, with high aesthetic appeal, so your streetscape stands out.

The modular trough and draining grate system, designed to be practical and economical, is made up of linear and corner sections, along with connector pieces, that allow for a customizable installation that can be retrofitted to any size pit within a paved surface. The bolted grating is also easily removed for fertilization. Once installed, the pit can be filled with a variety of surface materials including any number of paving or loose fill options.

UV safe polyurethane is used for manufacturing the HTFS for a variety of reasons: It is light in weight, allows for ease of field cutting and installation, and it is durable and aesthetically appealing. The HTFS is also created with environmentally friendly composite material, so the system will not rust or corrode.

A variety of color options are available to match the design of any installation.

The HTFS delivers additional functions including outer perimeter support for tree pits, a means of providing time release granular fertilizer, air and water directly into the sub-base material for distribution to tree roots and allowance for bound aggregate or other material to be installed at the pit surface.
