Sustainable trees are indispensable in our cities, they make the city liveable.

Mature, functional trees are the most natural solution to reduce the effects of climate change in public spaces.
TreeBuilders operates internationally and specializes in the development, production and project supervision of innovative tree bunkering systems. Our solutions create the ideal growing conditions for trees to age in a healthy way in the city, while providing a solution for sustainable urban water management. By connecting blue, green and grey urban infrastructures, together we create sustainable urban landscapes and future-proof cities!
Our goal is to advise you on all available options and, if applicable, the technical elaboration of the specific option that best suits your project. We are happy to share our knowledge with you, gained from the implementation of now more than 1400 tree bunker systems worldwide!
