IT Plus Vario Treebox for sustainable tree growing environments
With the IT Plus Vario Treebox, you achieve a stable growing environment for trees in paved areas without sacrificing load-bearing capacity. You create a subsurface in which roots can develop freely, while the overlying paving remains protected against settling and root heave.
The construction works with a secondary ground level (air layer), which prevents the growing medium from compacting and allows the tree to grow sustainably. Ideal for applications where infrastructure and greenery are combined, such as urban projects and heavily loaded zones.

Technical characteristics and performance
The IT Plus Vario Treebox combines high load-bearing capacity with optimal growth conditions for roots:
- second ground level due to air layer beneath paving
- prevents compaction of tree sand or tree granulate
- very high compressive strength (>1400 kN/m²)
- open structure with high water and air permeability
- lightweight system with quick installation
FAQ
1. What is the advantage of a second ground level?
You create an air layer beneath the paving, allowing roots to develop without exerting pressure on the surface.
2. What load can the IT Plus Vario Treebox handle?
The system has a very high compressive strength (more than 1400 kN/m²) and is suitable for heavily loaded applications.
3. How do you prevent compaction of the growing medium?
The construction distributes the load so that tree soil or tree substrate is not compressed.
4. What structure do you need?
You combine the tree crates with a suitable foundation and a permeable growing medium, tailored to the load and project type.
5. Is integration with water management possible?
Yes, due to the open structure, you can combine the IT Plus Vario Treebox with infiltration and water buffering in the substructure.
