As soon as the sun comes out, these scarce spots are used extensively. Urban designers and landscape architects attempt to make these areas as appealing as possible: little oases that act as the lungs of a city amidst a forest of concrete. Whether it concerns a functional urban square, a playground next to an apartment block or an attractive shopping boulevard, greenery is essential for a high-quality experience. Certain locations are not suitable for planting trees due to underground structures or infrastructure. However, the various Streetlife Tree Planters and Mobile Green Isles offer the optimal solution. When combined with Streetlife’s Treetec Bottom Up system, trees can be provided with ideal care and nutrition tailored to their specific needs. Locations can also be easily enhanced with mobile greenery, allowing existing situations to remain intact. For instance, this is a common solution for market squares.
