Tree guards protect street trees from car doors, bikes, dogs and trash cans, and they make a block look cared-for. We fabricate guards sized to your tree pit in classic or modern styles.
Street trees in NYC are City property, so guards need to follow NYC Parks guidelines and installation typically requires a Parks permit. We build to those guidelines.

Tree Guards & Sidewalk Ironwork FAQ
Do I need a permit for a tree guard in NYC?
Yes — tree guards on street trees require a free permit from NYC Parks, and must follow their design guidelines. We'll help you with the specs.
How tall can a tree guard be?
NYC Parks guidelines limit tree guard height (generally 18 inches) and require the bottom to be open so water reaches the soil.
Can you match the guards to my fence?
Yes — same picket and finial style.
Do you offer free estimates?
Send us photos and rough measurements by text or email and we'll usually give you a price range quickly. For custom work we'll visit to measure.
