Treepit Costing Calculator

Tree Pit Costing Calculator

With the Tree Pit Costing Calculator, you can accurately estimate:

  1. Soil volume requirements for trees based on their projected mature canopy width and height
  2. Required tree pit size to deliver the soil volume
    • using Soil Cells (Stratavault and Stratacell)
    • using Structural Soil (rock-based soil mix)
  3. Tree pit construction and product costs
    • using Soil Cells (Stratavault and Stratacell)
    • using Structural Soil
  4. Cost differential/savings using Soil Cells v.s. Structural Soil

“Citygreen offered training and invaluable technical assistance during the works.”

- James Callan, Estimating Manager, Complex Co Pty Ltd -

“Our experience, in working with a Citygreen Design Studio was second to none. We found responses from the design studio to be very timely, and technically thorough. We went backwards and forwards a number of times, looking at different iterations of the design and, nothing was too much trouble to examine and explore different possibilities. I would highly recommend the Citygreen Design Studio to any future client considering using your services.”

- Sandra Smith, Principal Landscape Architect, City Of Monash -

“We are big on compliance on all projects, and the fact that their SmartCertify cloud platform covers all bases, and supports their 20 year warranties, is critical – especially that these pits are being installed under roadways and footpaths.”

- Johny Purkaystha, Civil Program Engineer, Central Coast Council -

"I reviewed all the previous projects that we have installed in the past couple years using your product and I can happily report back that we have 0% mortality in the soil cells, which is incredible!"
