The Tree Anchor Wire Drop-Man System is a professional-grade rootball anchoring solution, specifically designed for planting environments where traditional metal drive-in tree anchors are not viable. This innovative system is ideal for use in shallow soils, green roof gardens, brownfield developments, and locations with underground services or gas membranes—offering a secure, non-invasive method of stabilising trees.
Popular with landscape contractors, local authorities, councils, and landscape architects, the Drop-Man system delivers reliable anchoring where site conditions prevent deeper anchor penetration. Instead of relying on ground depth, it uses robust Drop-Man anchors to create a firm grip in the upper soil layers, complemented by high-tensile galvanised wire and a ratchet tensioner for consistent support and rootball stability.
This system is an excellent choice for projects where compliance with infrastructure or environmental limitations is crucial, without compromising tree stability and establishment success.
