Why tree protection is essential

Trees are vital green lungs in our gardens, parks, and urban environments. They provide shade, purify the air, and contribute to biodiversity. But young or vulnerable trees often face tough challenges: gnawing animals, extreme drought, or aggressive weed growth can damage their trunks or root zones. Fortunately, there are smart solutions that not only protect your trees but also enhance their visual appeal.

Whether you’re a landscaping contractor, a municipal green service, or an eco-conscious DIY enthusiast, the right products can make the difference between a tree that merely survives and one that truly thrives. ECCO offers three innovative products for a complete solution: the ECCO Tree Guard, ECCO Tree Border, and the ECC-O-Bag. Each has its own strengths, but together they form the perfect combination for long-lasting tree protection.

What makes these three products so special?

1. ECCO Tree Guard – the smart, breathable shield for your tree

Protect young trees from gnawing animals, mechanical damage, or accidental impact with the ECCO Tree Guard. This flexible tree protector is made from durable PVC and available in various heights (60 to 150 cm).

Thanks to its perforated design, the trunk receives ample light and air without the risk of fungal growth – a commonly overlooked but crucial factor in tree protection. The tree stays healthy, breathes freely, and can grow without restriction. The design also reduces the risk of suffocation caused by overly tight coverings.

What sets the Tree Guard apart is its self-closing design—no need for additional fasteners or tools. The full-length slit makes installation quick and effortless. Plus, the non-perforated section at the bottom offers effective protection against mice and other rodents.

Made from high-quality materials, the Tree Guard is resistant to harsh weather and corrosion.

  • Perfect for: deciduous, coniferous, and fruit trees.

2. ECCO Tree Border – sleek design with ecological added value

Protection is important, but so is a clean finish. The ECCO Tree Border is a corten steel tree protector that combines functional safety with a stylish look. These circular borders highlight the tree as a visual centrepiece in your garden or park, while acting as a crucial buffer between the trunk and its surroundings.

The raised edge prevents bark damage from lawnmowers or other hazards. In addition, the border simplifies maintenance around the tree base. It suppresses weed growth, eliminating the need for chemical herbicides.

These tree rings are available in three sizes (Ø 500, 750, and 1000 mm) and are easy to install thanks to a ‘hidden’ connection between the two halves. In short: a smart, sustainable, and visually appealing solution for both private and public projects.

  • Perfect for: gravel areas, urban gardens and parks, (semi-)paved gardens, public spaces, and ecological landscape design.

3. ECC-O-Bag – water your tree precisely where it needs it

Drought periods are becoming longer and more intense, making young trees especially vulnerable. The ECC-O-Bag is a reusable watering bag that delivers water directly to the tree’s roots through drip irrigation. No waste, no waterlogged soil—just consistent moisture over a 7 to 10-hour period.

Made from UV- and weather-resistant material, the bag features a sturdy zipper system and can be expanded by linking multiple bags together to fit the trunk diameter. The ECC-O-Bag is also suitable for applying liquid fertilisers. Simply fill the bag once or twice a week with clean water, and your tree will be well-protected against drought stress.

  • Perfect for: newly planted or transplanted trees, trees in sensitive locations, tree nurseries, and municipal green spaces.

Why choose ECCO tree protection?

ECCO stands for sustainable, well-thought-out solutions for outdoor spaces. All products are designed with a focus on:
