The purpose of tree protection systems is to permanently and aesthetically protect the trunks of newly planted or existing urban trees, as well as the sensitive root ball area around the trunk, from damage and environmental impact. GEFA offers a comprehensive selection of high-quality, visually appealing tree protection grates and guards tailored to your needs.
Tree protection guards play a vital role in safeguarding newly planted and mature trees in our cities and communities. They encircle a significant portion of the trunk area, providing reliable protection against damage while taking up minimal space. In addition to their functionality, the new GEFA tree protection guards impress with innovative design and top-quality craftsmanship.
GEFA tree protection guards can be installed with or without GEFA tree protection grates. All necessary mounting materials are included. Each guard is made of multi-part welded steel elements and hot-dip galvanized in accordance with DIN EN ISO 1461 standards. These guards reliably protect a large portion of the trunk area from damage without occupying excessive space.

TREE PROTECTION GRATES
PROTECTING THE SENSITIVE ROOT BALL AREA
GEFA Tree Protection Grates
COMPLETE SYSTEMS
In urban environments, a key prerequisite for healthy tree growth—alongside sufficient water and oxygen supply—is preventing soil compaction and redirecting pressure away from the root area.
Tree protection grates safeguard the sensitive root ball area around the trunk from soil compaction and damage.
GEFA tree protection grate complete systems are laser-cut from hot-dip galvanized steel. These systems are multi-part and include a laser-cut steel disc with a welded support structure, fastening materials, and substructure.
As complete systems, they can be seamlessly integrated into the TreeParker root management system.
