Growing healthier trees, enriching your community

Tree Coach™ explained

Staking the tree right the first time is key for long-term tree health. The Australian-made Tree Coach is the all-in-one planting and watering system that allows trees to grow more naturally. GrowFlex technology allows the tree to move with the wind while being strongly supported by flexible stakes, giving the tree the necessary movement it needs to thrive.

Flexible stakes that nurture growth
Instead of restricting growth with rigid stakes, Tree Coach’s Growflex™ technology allows trees to be tested and strengthened by the wind, encouraging better caliper, stem taper and consequential root development.
Precise planting, enhanced tree health
While with other forms of tree staking, the quality of the plant depends on the skill of the worker, Tree Coach’s all-in-one structure means that correct tree planting isn’t left up to chance. This results in the healthy development of trees, and a more consistent aesthetic across the entire planting project.

Water efficiencies
and savings
With other staking methods, water inefficiencies can occur from inconsistent water volume, as well as from varied soil berm sizes. With Tree Coach, its built-in watering ring helps manage water efficiently from nature to the tree.
Environmentally sustainable and responsible
While wooden stakes often rot in the ground and can’t be reused, Tree Coach stakes - made from recycled kerbside waste - are reusable. The upper ring, once removed, can be recycled.
A safer and more efficient planting process
Unlike other tree staking processes, Tree Coach doesn’t require heavy ramming equipment for installation and is lightweight to transport, lowering safety risks for workers.

Nature-led tree development.

With flexible tree stakes that allow trees to be tested and strengthened by the wind, Growflex Technology encourages better caliper, stem taper and consequential root development. The result is healthier, more durable, mature trees with less root plate failure and stake damage than traditional staking.

The more sustainable, responsible solution.

Fully manufactured from curbside waste and made in Australia. Tree Coach stakes can be recycled or reused and the upper watering ring can be is also 100% recyclable when removed. Tree Coach incurs less water wastage than traditional staking.

Easier and safer to install.

Available in two different sizes, Tree Coach is lightweight and safer to transport than traditional tree stakes, and requires no heavy ramming machinery to install. This creates a safer environment for workers and the community.

Design that enhances its surrounds.

With curved stakes and clean lines, Tree Coach has been designed to aesthetically complement urban developments and community assets.

The Tree Coach™ process.

Here’s how planting with Tree Coach works.

1. Prep

Soil is cultivated and a suitable-sized hole is dug.

2. Plant

The stakes are inserted into the lower rings, and the Tree Coach is placed in the hole. No heavy ramming machinery is required. The tree is placed in, backfilled and tied to the GrowFlex Technology™ stakes.

3. Grow

The tree grows while ‘coached’ by the Tree Coach, growing stronger roots more naturally, with the watering ring controlling more efficient water delivery to the root zone.

4. Remove

Once the tree is established, the stakes and upper ring are removed.

5. Reuse & Recycle

The stakes can be reused and the upper ring can be recycled again, creating a circular cradle-to-cradle, sustainable process.
