Big Reuse and NYC Council Member Lincoln Restler are piloting a new program to make more affordable tree guards accessible for residents to install on their blocks. Our tree guard design meets all required NYC Parks Department specifications. The tree guard is three sided and constructed with seven green baked enamel coated steel u-channel posts and pressure treated lumber rails with a subtle tapered design at the curbside edge. The tree guard kit includes all hardware and materials custom cut to your tree bed measurements.
- Tree Guard Project Kit Purchases are Non-Refundable.
- You must secure a Tree Work Permit from the NYC Parks Department in order to purchase a kit in the approved pilot program catchment area.
- Your Tree Guard Kit will be ready for pick up to 14 days from the date of purchase at the Big Reuse Center at 1 12th St in Gowanus, Brooklyn.
- You will likely need a vehicle to transport your materials, which may be up to 10 feet in length depending on the size of your tree bed.
