Tree Grates
Complement Your Streetscape
Cast Ion ... Te Natal Coice. Cast iron grating is strong, durable, and
stands up to harsh environmental conditions. In its natural state, gray iron
develops a pleasant, dark brown patina as it ages. Cast iron is inherently
resistant to corrosion rom natural elements and will last or many, many
years in its original state.
All grates are Made in the USA and contain a minimum o 85% recycled
materials. Hundreds o tons per day o waste errous materials, including
old car parts, appliances, and obsolete arm equipment are recycled to
produce castings or your inrastructure.
Tree Grates That Complement Your Streetscape
Tree grates manuactured by EJ are durable, unctional, and
architecturally appealing, and promote healthy tree growth.
Outdoors, the grates provide natural drainage and enhance any
urban, campus, or park setting. Tree grates provide more area or
pedestrian activity while protecting developing trees and rootsystems, also making them a perect application or indoor malls.
Expandable tree openings allow or tree growth. See page 5 or
details. The slotted design allows or ecient watering and is ADA
compliant or pedestrian saety. The narrow slot o an ADA grate
also prohibits litter rom collecting in the tree well and minimizes the
growth o weeds.

Tree Grates
Expandable Tree Openings
Remove or replace the center ring as your tree grows
Among the oering o available tree grate
eatures are numerous models with optional
center ring inserts, which can be removed
later to accommodate or growth o the tree.
The removable center rings are a convenient
way to adjust (expand) the tree grate
opening diameter as the tree trunk grows in
width. As you plan ahead or plantings andtree pit maintenance o the streetscape,
order your grate with one or more o the
optional rings. Later, you may remove or
swap out a ring to increase the opening size
during a higher growth phase as the tree
matures.
Another situation or which the rings are
benecial is when changing out an older
growth tree. I you need to remove an
existing tree and re-plant with another, insert
a ring to the grate so that the opening is a
more appropriate t or your new tree. Overtime, as the young tree grows, remove the
ring to expand the opening diameter again
when needed.
A 16" removable center ring is used when planting a young tree. This helps protect the vulnerable tree.
A 24" removable center ring is inserted to the grate to accomodates tree growth or a maturing tree.
Poor size selection or the tree opening results in a
unnished look, signcantly crowds the tree, and impairs
proper tree growth.
Odeing/Application Example
The 8692 Provence series 48" x 72" rectangular grate has a standard 30" diameter tree opening. To narrow the tree
opening to a diameter o 18", order the 8692 30-18D center ring, and insert/install it by placing the two hal-rings on to
the inner lip o the standard opening, and bolt them together to orm the complete ring. To narrow the tree opening to
a diameter o 24", order the 8692 30-24D center ring, and install/bolt together in the same manner to complete the
ring. Later on, either ring is removable or replaceable to create the desired size opening and accommodate or the
growth o your tree.
Plan ahead and your streetscape
will remain beautiul or decades!

high calcium content and lack o metallics. It can be reused by other
industries to replace ne aggregate in products such as asphalt,
portland cement, and concrete blocks. During harsh winter months,

improve vehicle traction.
Environmentally Friendly
Cast Ion Natural Patina
Asphaltic base paint, powder coating, and other materials used to
paint castings are simply cosmetic and provide no value to your
inrastructure.
Unlike steel, cast iron has much higher concentrations o carbon and
silicon, which provide a substantial resistance to corrosion. Cast iron
has been known to unction or centuries without ailure.
Painting can be used to conceal casting deects, and many
departments o transportation speciy non-painted castings as a
protective measure against this problem.
Unpainted tree grates, over time, develop a natural patina when exposed to the
elements. This appealing color blends nicely with the surrounding environment.
