Protecting the base of a tree might not be the first job you think of in the garden, but using a tree ring is one of the most effective ways to support healthy growth and keep outdoor spaces looking neat. Whether you’ve just planted a young sapling or you’re maintaining an established tree, tree rings offer a clean, practical boundary that delivers long-term benefits.

Why Use a Tree Ring?

A well-installed tree ring does far more than simply look tidy. It plays an important role in supporting both the tree and the surrounding landscape:

• Weed suppression: A defined ring prevents grass and weeds from spreading right up to the trunk, reducing competition for nutrients and water.
  
  

• Moisture management: Tree rings make mulching easier and more effective, helping retain moisture where it’s needed most.
  
  

• Protection from tools: Mowers and strimmers can easily damage bark. A tree ring creates a safe buffer zone around the trunk.
  
  

• Neater garden design: They give a clean, professional finish, especially in lawns or landscaped beds.
