Stormwater tree trenches are linear tree planting structures that feature supported impermeable or [[permeable pavements]] that promote healthy tree growth while also helping to manage runoff. They are often located behind the curb within the road right-of-way and consist of subsurface trenches filled with modular structures and growing medium, or structurally engineered soil medium, supporting an overlying sidewalk pavement. They improve tree health by providing access to soil, air and stormwater for irrigation, allowing them to survive longer in harsh urban conditions. | Stormwater tree trenches are linear tree planting structures that feature supported impermeable or [[permeable pavements]] that promote healthy tree growth while also helping to manage runoff.
