The Tree Anchor Strap Drop-Man System is a reliable underground anchoring solution designed for situations where traditional driven anchors are unsuitable—such as urban landscapes, roof gardens, brownfield sites, or areas with shallow soil, underground services, or gas membranes. This system uses Drop-Man anchors in combination with robust webbing and a ratchet tensioner to provide secure tree support without the need for mechanical driving.

Ideal for use by landscapers, local authorities, contractors, and landscape architects managing urban tree planting schemes, this system supports healthy establishment by stabilising rootballs during critical early growth stages.

No ground penetration required – Ideal for sensitive environments with underground services or restricted soil depths.
Versatile application – Suitable for green roofs, brownfield regeneration, street trees, and infrastructure planting.
Secure and durable – Heavy-duty Drop-Man anchors and industrial webbing ensure long-lasting performance.
Minimal site disruption – Can be installed without heavy machinery, reducing disturbance to surroundings.
