Urban trees need up to 30m³ of loose soil to thrive. At Markhouse Corner we used Stockholm tree pits to give 4 trees the space, water and oxygen they need while keeping pavements safe and stable. These pits also channel rainwater from nearby surfaces 💧🌱 #NationalTreeWeek

Autumn tip: Add a layer of mulch 🍂
It protects roots, locks in moisture, and keeps soil healthy through the colder months.
Small step now = stronger growth later.
