<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:windowtext">This wasn’t designed so the trees would thrive – but my observation is that the roots managed to escape into the lawn area on the left side of the photo since the planting pits are directly adjacent to the
lawn, whereas they were still struggling on the right due to the compaction. The trees on the right have since been removed and replaced due to a parkade expansion, this photo is from a few years ago.

<p>So are the trees on the left of the image totally constrained on their right side with no possibility of roots under the sidewalk? And are the trees on the right side of the image totally constrained on all four sides?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>My experience would be that the area for the sidewalk / road would have been heavily compacted (Proctor 90% +) and then the road and sidewalk laid down. Do you know if the planting pits on the left side were extended into the grassed area or did the roots
just manage to escape somehow?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">All, we are having a bit of an internal debate about standards for local/residential roads and boulevards. My observation is that trees that are planted in a boulevard behind a monolithic sidewalk (sidewalk up against the curb and planting
area next to the property) generally do better. They have access to more soil volume in the front yard, they get more water and the boulevard is tidier since the homeowner treats it like part of their yard. Also fewer issues with roots lifting sidewalks. Some
of our staff prefer the separated treed boulevard, for various reasons. Note, I’m not talking about busier roads where the trees in boulevards help to form a barrier from traffic.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We don’t have a lot of good examples here that directly show a comparison. Does anybody have some photos that might show the performance of trees on one side of the road in a separated boulevard, vs. trees on the other side behind the sidewalk?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Below is an example that doesn’t exactly show this, but it does show the value of soil volume, with the trees on the left side being able to access the lawn area behind the sidewalk, vs. the trees in “coffins” on the right. These are lindens
planted at the same time.<o:p></o:p></p>
