CU-Structural Soil is revolutionizing tree growth in urban areas in New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut by providing a unique solution to the challenges of traditional urban soils. Developed by Cornell University, CU-Soil combines structural elements with soil suitable for root development, creating a load-bearing, root-growth-friendly environment for trees. The benefits of using CU-Soil in urban areas are significant, including improved root growth, enhanced tree health, and structural support for pavements and other load-bearing surfaces. However, it's crucial to ensure that your CU-Soil provider is authorized by Amereq, Inc. to produce and provide the product, guaranteeing its quality and performance.


What is CU-Structural Soil?

CU-Structural Soil, often referred to as CU-Soil, stands as a pioneering development from Cornell University, meticulously crafted to establish a robust, root-growth-friendly environment essential for the sustained health and longevity of urban trees. In urban areas, traditional soils are compacted to support pavements and sidewalks, severely restricting root growth and endangering tree health. To address these issues, CU-Structural Soil combines structural elements with a specialized soil composition that promotes optimal root development. A key component of this soil system is a uniformly sized, highly angular crushed stone. This unique blend nurtures healthy tree growth, ensuring their vitality for years, and effectively prevents sidewalk failure caused by invasive root systems. By fostering urban trees in this manner, CU-Structural Soil maintains the integrity of surrounding infrastructure while promoting a lush, green urban ecosystem.

CU-Soil helps protect trees in urban areas from drought and pavement heaving.

CU-Structural Soil offers numerous benefits for urban tree planting. The interconnected voids between the stones provide space for roots to grow, enabling better access to water and nutrients, which improves root growth. The crushed stone supports the weight of pavements and vehicles, preventing soil compaction and damage to tree roots, thus providing essential structural support. By promoting healthier root systems, CU-Soil can lead to longer-lived and more resilient urban trees, enhancing overall tree health. Additionally, CU-Soil's versatility allows it to be used under pavements, sidewalks, parking lots, and other load-bearing surfaces, making it an ideal solution for various urban landscaping projects.
