Silva Cell Subsurface Tree Protection and Stormwater System

The Silva Cell is a modular system that holds soil for tree growth and stormwater management while supporting paved surfaces. Growing trees in urban areas can reduce the urban heat-island effect, pollution, and flooding, while replenishing oxygen and connecting inhabitants to the natural environment. This system creates a void space that holds 10 cubic feet of soil per unit, protecting tree roots from compaction and providing room for stormwater infiltration and surrounding utilities.
