Product: Silva Cell Subsurface
Manufacturer: Deep Root Partners
The Silva Cell is a modular system that holds soil for tree growth and stormwater management while supporting paved surfaces. Growing trees in urban areas can reduce the urban heat island effect, pollution, and flooding, while replenishing oxygen and connecting inhabitants to the natural environment. This system creates a void space that holds 10 cubic feet of soil per unit, protecting tree roots from compaction and providing room for stormwater infiltration and surrounding utilities. deeproot.com
