USD $2,358.00

Reliance Foundry R-8708 tree grates are made from tough cast iron and measure 48 inches square. Designed to protect trees and surrounding soil from rigorous urban life, tree grates also act as a safe extension of the sidewalk. Component parts fit together seamlessly for a polished appearance and can be expanded to accommodate a growing tree. The radial pattern of the Boulevard collection offers a clean, simple look with narrow slot openings. This model is ADA compliant and sold raw, developing a natural patina to provide durability and a visual contrast with its environment.

Reliance Foundry hardscape products are designed and manufactured in the USA, in compliance with the Buy American Act.
