Resin tree pits

A resin tree pit is a porous resin bound surface laid around the base of a tree in paving. It lets water and air through to the roots, removes the trip hazard of an open pit, and can be laid flush with surrounding paving.

How resin tree pits work

Tree pits use a coarser blend so the surface stays porous. A gap is left around the trunk so the tree can grow, and the pit can be cut back and extended in future years.
