Square Metal Tree Grate

This square metal tree grate is a Revit family featuring a perforated grid pattern with a central circular opening for urban planting. The grate presents a clean, modular square silhouette designed for integration into paved pedestrian areas. It features a dense, uniform perforated mesh pattern, providing essential aeration and water permeability for street trees while maintaining a level surface for foot traffic. A circular void at the centre accommodates the trunk, ensuring a tidy finish at the soil interface. Constructed as a single-piece unit, the geometry is straightforward and functional, finished in a matte black aesthetic that suits contemporary urban development projects and public realm landscaping schemes.

The download is a 174 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

In Revit, this family is typically placed on a site plan or floor plan view, ideally hosted on a level representing the finished ground surface. Users should ensure the family is aligned with the tree pit opening in the paving plan. Because it is a simple geometry, it is lightweight for project files, allowing for multiple instances across large site models without impacting performance. Materials can be assigned to the metal component via the family parameters to match specific site specifications or rendering requirements.

This asset is essential for landscape architects and urban designers working on public realm, streetscape, or commercial development projects. It is commonly used in site plans and sections to detail tree pit treatments in plazas, pedestrianised zones, and sidewalk designs. Professionals searching for site infrastructure, paving accessories, or urban planting solutions will find this component useful for defining ground-level details. It pairs effectively with standard paving patterns, kerb details, and site lighting fixtures to create realistic exterior visualisations and construction documentation.
