Integrated Tree & Stormwater System

The Silva Cell is a subsurface integrated tree and stormwater system that holds unlimited amounts of soil while supporting traffic loads beneath paving and hard landscaping.

New Engineered Solution for Hard Landscaping Without Compromising Soil Quality
High quality soil is critical for supporting ecological function, but current engineering standards for paving and other hardscapes typically result in very poor soil quality and biology. High compaction, inorganic matter and pollutants in the soil all contribute to the premature death and reduced environmental benefits of urban trees.

Unique design ideal for native or specialised soil types
The Silva Cell makes using increased quantities of native or specialized soils simple and easy, ensuring high quality soils and expanded rooting zones to grow vibrant, healthy trees with long life expectancies.

By combining on-site stormwater treatment with expanded rooting volumes for large, healthy trees, Silva Cells create an unparalleled opportunity to improve the environmental and aesthetic functioning of our urban spaces.
