Protect your tree wells and trees!

• Please do not salt the tree well in front of your business. The tree wells are porous; the salt will grind into the material, clog it and ultimately destroy it.
• Salting a tree well is like salting the actual tree – the tree will die.
• Snow is good for the tree – leave it on the well.
• Flexipave is designed to be safe & walkable when wet-your tree well will not be a slipping hazard.
