Tree Guards

Morgik / Custom Metal Works / Tree Guards

Street trees and landscape specimens deserve protection that enhances rather than diminishes their settings. Morgik manufactures custom tree guards in steel – fabricated in our Paterson, New Jersey facility for municipalities, commercial properties, and residential streetscapes.

Every tree guard is designed for its specific site and aesthetic context.
