UK access cover specialist Howe Green has supplied a bespoke solution for greener landscaping in one of the world’s most arid environments.  Over 130 made-to-measure stainless steel tree grilles have been supplied to Doha based contractor Redco for a new phase of soft landscaping at Education City, Qatar.

The grilles provide stylish and reliable access to tree pits on the Western Green Spine, an area planted with 8 species of trees and shrubs creating lush and colourful routes and pathways for vehicles and pedestrians.

Sized to exact specification and designed to house light fittings, the frames and panels not only give easy access to tree root chambers for maintenance, they also reduce risk of soil compaction and contamination. From a design perspective, the grilles enable a seamless and monolithic effect to be created in paved areas and frame tree trunks stylishly along the way.

With a commitment to high quality products and an ability to produce made-to-measure solutions without having to charge a premium, Howe Green has supplied tree grilles for a diverse range of applications from Heathrow’s T5 and Bluewater Shopping Centre to One Hyde Park, Knightsbridge.
