Using TERRAM GEOCELL for tree root protection ensures the roots beneath are protected from vehicle loads by confining the sub-base and stabilising the ground.
When the permeable TERRAM GEOCELL is filed with a porous, no fines, free-flowing aggregate the system allows essential passage of air and water providing essential nutrients to the roots. TERRAM GEOCELL is ideal for “No-Dig” situations.
Typical Applications

• Paths & Cycleways
• Driveways*
• Roads
• Access Routes*
• Parking Areas

TERRAM GEOCELL is supplied as flat packed panels which are opened to form the honeycomb-like structure. These are positioned and pinned to the ground using fixing pins and filled with a suitable, permeable infill.
TERRAM GEOCELL confines the infill and ensures that downward forces are spread laterally, reducing pressure on the sub-base. Without this cellular system, the surface would become rutted and compacted with the traffic loads, damaging the tree roots and potentially resulting in the death of the tree.
