What do you need to install TreeParker
Equipment requirements
• Plate compactor
• Jumping jack compactor
• Excavating equipement
- sufficient reach
- 3600 swing radius
• Laser or other suitable measuring device
Preparation prior to the installation

• workers on site must have access to :
- the TreeParker installation guidelines
- drawings topview and sectional views
Determine the dimensions of the TreeParker area
over-excavation a minimum of 300mm on all

sides to allow for working room and proper
compaction
NOTE : over-excavation 300mm
13
Excavate the TreeParker area
Make sure excavation is deep

enough to accommodate sub base
aggregate + TreeParker and
pavement section.
Compact bottom of excavation

(sub grade) before placing fabric
and sub base aggregate
Install the geotextile
Place a layer of geotextile fabric over

the compacted subgrade before
placing the sub base aggregate.
The geotextile fabric is an important

component of the overall TreeParker
system and it is essential for establishing
a uniformly stable sub base.
Place and compact the sub base aggregate layer
Place the required thickness of sub base

aggregate over the geotextile fabric.
Compact the sub base aggregate to
95% standard proctor density or as
specified
Quality control
It is the responsibility of the contractor

through the Owner, Owner’s
Representative, Engineer, or
Geotechnical Consultant to verify that
the sub base is constructed to the
specified requirements prior to placing
any TreeParker.
Lay out the bases
Mark out the inner dimensions of

the tree opening
A note on curbs
Make sure curb or thickened

pavement edge at tree opening
is fully supported by TreeParker
Lay out the bases
1) Place frames around 2) Place frames beyond

the treepits tree opening and space
accordingly
Lay out the bases TreeParker installed with TreeParker can be
up to 75 mm spacing. linked together
Lay out TreeParker base

frames according design
Pin the base
If Treeparker frames are not linked

horizontaly then use pins to ancher the
frames to the base.
Use minimal 2 pins per frame.
Note: if you can’t use pins, (on roofgarden ..)

use wooden spacers.
Attach the posts to the base frames
Push the posts into the frame.
Attach the topframes

before filling with soil. To
keep the posts aligned.
Install the Treeparker-combi Grid
Install a reinforced geotextile

around the perimeter of
TreeParker System
The TreeParker–combi Grid keeps the

soil inside the system without
preventing movement of water and
air in and out of the system.
Using TreeParker combi Grid
Allow for a >150mm overlap Allow for a 300mm overlap at Attach the Grid to the frame
at the bottom. the top. with cable tie, every 1m¹
At the end/beginning allow a

overlap of >500 mm
Install the first lift of backfill
In order to keep the Grid at place,

install backfill material.
The maximum layer height installed at
maximum height you still can compact
according regulations at site.
Note: do not compact the backfill yet!
Install the first lift of planting soil
Install planting soil to approximate same

height as backfill material.
Level out and compact by walking over

the soil. ( soil compaction 1- 1,5 Mpa )
Compact the first lift of backfill material
After the soil has been installed at the

same height of the backfill material and
walked through, compact the backfill
material to the required compaction
Note: Prevent compaction equipment

from coming in direct contact with the
posts to avoid possible damage.
Filling up the system
After backfill material has been placed and compacted to the height of the
soil inside the Cells, the process of adding backfill material around perimeter
and soil in the Cells repeats itself
Closing the system
Level out the soil. Clean the frames. Attach the decks
Leaving an airlayer
between 3 up to 8 cm
Install geotextile fabric over the TreeParker
Cover TreeParker with geotextile.
Note : Extend Geotextile to also cover the

backfill area
Install the treepit curbing
Concrete; prefab or poured Steel curbing

in project
Install Rootguidance panels
Make as big a circle inside

the tree opening as possible
Install the aggregate base course
Place the aggregate from outside

of the perimeter of the system. Start
at one end and work continuously
toward the other end. This keeps
the geotextile fabric loose and
allows it to be pulled down into the
openings between the decks.
Note: Do not operate machinery over the

TreeParker system. The system does not
attain its load bearing capacity until the
final pavement surface is in place.
Compact the aggregate base
Compact the base course

aggregate as specified with
equipment weighing 500 kg or less.
Install the permanent pavement
