Tree Protection Zone

Project Details

APC recently completed a tree protection zone project using permeable concrete surfaces designed to meet Australian standards. The goal was to protect tree roots while supporting healthy urban growth and maintaining the surrounding landscape. By installing durable, permeable concrete, we ensured water and air could reach the root systems without damaging nearby infrastructure. This approach not only preserves the health of the trees but also creates surfaces that are long-lasting and visually integrated with their environment. Our innovative solutions help define what a tree protection zone should look like in practice

What Is a Tree Protection Zone?

A Tree Protection Zone (TPZ) is a designated area around a tree’s base designed to safeguard its root system during construction or landscaping activities. Implementing a TPZ ensures that trees receive adequate water and air, promoting healthy growth without compromising nearby infrastructure.

Why Choose APC for Your TPZ Project?

Expertise in Permeable Concrete

APC specialises in creating permeable concrete surfaces that allow water and air to reach tree roots, essential for tree health.

Eco-Friendly Approach

We prioritise eco-friendly designs that contribute to the overall sustainability of urban landscapes.

Our Solutions

Protecting urban greenery requires the right balance of durability, functionality and care for the environment. APC’s tree protection zone solutions use specialised permeable concrete to support healthy tree growth while maintaining the surrounding landscape.

Permcon Technology: Supporting Urban Tree Health

Our Permcon technology is designed to meet the needs of modern tree protection zones. It allows water, air, and nutrients to reach tree roots, an essential factor for long-term tree health in built-up areas, while remaining strong enough to support foot traffic and nearby infrastructure.

Eco-Friendly Design for Urban Sustainability

This tree protection zone project followed an eco-friendly approach that helps create greener and more sustainable public spaces. By using materials and methods that reduce environmental impact, we’re supporting both healthy trees and healthier cities

Project Commitment

Our recent tree protection zone project reflects our commitment to building smarter and more sustainable urban spaces. Using Permcon technology, we installed permeable surfaces that comply with the tree protection zone Australian standard. These surfaces promote natural tree growth without harming nearby footpaths or structures.

When you choose APC, you’re choosing a solution that protects tree roots, supports urban design and meets long term environmental goals.
