Pavement heave. Incorrectly planted and poorly maintained urban trees can cause pavement heave which ruins the value of infrastructure. But the risk of pavement heave can be eliminated using structural soil cells, which provides street trees with all the space they need to develop strong, healthy root systems, but in a directed and managed way. Even when the street trees are figs! Using our structural soil cells, the City of Newcastle, Australia, overcame these problems, creating an iconic avenue of figs in the civic center that coexists in perfect harmony with urban infrastructure. In less than 10 years, the figs on either side of the street have grown to meet in the middle, offering a cool, shady respite for residents, and visitors atop the civic park stairs and a fittingly picture-perfect entrance to the Newcastle Art Gallery.

Therefore transform these spaces from negatives to positives by use of walls, trees, awnings, and decks. In this way the middle class will finally and firmly embrace the trailer park.
