Pedestrian-proof tree grates & trench grates, plus tree guards & bollards.

100% RECYCLED Available in cast iron, aluminum or bronze and cast from 100% recycled metals.

Architects and designers have made trees an important part of their plans for urban, campus, business and other development. Tree grates add a handsome finishing touch and display a designer's concern for public safety and pride in doing the job right. You'll find grates here that surpass ADA requirements and meet the strictest mandatory government regulations for pedestrian safety and legal liability.

Room to Grow:
Many designs allow the tree opening to be enlarged in increments to accommodate growth, protecting the tree from injury. Very large openings are available or can be custom ordered to accommodate large trees.

Cost - Saving Frames:
To make installation easy and fast, one- or two-piece frames are provided and can usually be shipped within a couple weeks, to meet demanding project timetables.

Bright Alternative:
Many grate designs are available with lightwells as an option. Removable covers allow for the installation of subgrade lighting.
