Typical Applications
Kits With Ground Anchors
The Platipus rootball fixing system, with Plati-Mat®, remains the preferred method for securing rootballed, airport and containerized semi-mature trees. The ease of installation and lack of unsightly guy wires makes it the first choice for customers. Over the past four decades, we have developed an extensive range of unique underground tree anchoring solutions to suit most tree planting situations including above ground guying. Available in 3-Leg and 4-Leg options.
Kits Without Ground Anchors
With the ever-increasing desire to create beautiful landscapes in challenging urban environments and roof gardens there are many occasions where a standard tree anchoring system cannot be used due to the location of buried services or shallow planting areas. Platipus have developed permanent tree anchoring systems, using stainless steel accessories, available in a wide range of options to suit individual applications.
Piddler Tree Irrigation & Aeration System
Drought stress is one of the biggest contributors to high mortality rates of transplanted trees in the first few years after planting. Water is vital for tree growth and sustainability and without regular watering the tree will suffer irreparable damage.
G-WALL Modular Living Wall System
Every area, no matter how small, has some vertical space, be it a wall or other suitable structure, that is perfect for populating with plants. The Platipus G-WALL® is an easy to install modular system that will allow even the most inexperienced gardener to transform bare boundaries or spaces into vibrant colourful living walls.
G-ROOF Modular Structural System
The benefits of green roofs, podiums and terraces are well established. The G-ROOF is a modular structural and drainage support system ideal for any roof garden. The G-ROOF cells can be connected, placed directly on a waterproofed surface and the rigid system provides ideal load bearing support without the need for a root barrier & other layers.
