The Emerging Turf War Over Anti-Soil Compaction Systems – “Ten years ago, Bassuk developed CU-Structural Soil to help street trees survive in soil thats been compacted by traffic and construction. When dirt gets packed too tight, air and water cant flow down to the roots. Often that means the roots head off on their own expeditions for nutrition and room, tearing up sidewalk on the way, or the tree dies out and the city spends time and money replacing it. CU-Structural Soil is a mix of dirt and rocks designed to bear the load of pavement and whatever rolls across it, while leaving enough open space underground for tree roots, air and water. Its since been licensed and sold to builders and landscapers across the U.S. and Canada.”
