Hi Gary, the client is doing a refurb on a few main tourist streets in York, the spec includes some urban street planting, it involved excavating 2x2 metre pits, these pits were full of assorted services so tree pits and raft structures needed to be installed. The pits make the trees grow downwards and remove the risk of the pavement being disrupted in the future. A bit of a steep learning curve for us and in one of the busiest tourist streets in York.

Am I the only person that doesn't understand this, if there are services below the pit won't they get damaged as the tree grows downwards?
 
Or have I got the wrong end of the stick again?

Nope because the walls of the pit go down below the services.the roots will carry on past them.
