Frequently Asked Questions

A root ball anchoring kit is a below ground system used to securely stabilise newly planted trees. It provides firm support while allowing natural root growth, helping trees establish quickly and reducing the risk of movement, vandalism, or damage.

Unlike wooden stakes and rope, the Gripple Root Ball Kit installs below the surface, which eliminates any visible supports and trip hazards.  Aesthetically, it offers consistent results and a cleaner landscape finish, making it ideal for urban and high-traffic areas.

The Gripple Root Ball Kit supports trees up to 12 metres in height and 75 centimetres in circumference. With a high pull-out load of 2,250 kilograms, it’s suitable for a wide range of tree types and soil conditions.
