RootCell
Compact soil cell system for urban tree planting.
The world’s first structural soil cell, RootCell has been supporting urban trees since 2001. Compact, modular and easy to install, RootCell remains a trusted option for smaller-scale or legacy projects where space is constrained.
Why RootCell
RootCell was the original soil cell — launched in 2001 as the first engineered solution to provide uncompacted soil beneath paved surfaces. Its compact modules interlock in all directions, creating a stable rooting environment while protecting surrounding pavements and utilities. With two decades of project experience worldwide, RootCell continues to provide a proven option for light- and medium-duty applications.
- Compact cell design for constrained sites.
- First engineered soil cell system, with 20+ years of project history.
- 100% recycled polypropylene.
