On a recent visit to , we made sure to return to this beautifully designed courtyard by Urban Robot Associates, an inviting space that blends landscape, architecture, and function at the Parisian-style brasserie, Pastis. 🌿🌴

The sculpted, flowing lines of our Kelp tree grates and Minnione trench grates contribute to the space’s organic energy—showing how even the most functional site elements can elevate the design narrative.

💫✨ ✨ 💫
Giralda Plaza in is a true testament to how thoughtful design can transform public spaces into immersive experiences. The plaza’s paving design celebrates the existing stand of trees as the centerpoints for a concentric paving pattern inspired by raindrops.

Complementing this motif are our Oblio trench grates, featuring a signature pattern that suggests ripples forming on the surface of water. This thoughtful pairing not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also underscores the plaza’s commitment to resilient infrastructure, effectively managing stormwater while delighting the senses.

Four years after installation. Still looks ✨ brand new! ✨

Our laser-cut stainless-steel Hopscotch embed stands the test of time. Unlike painted courts that weather quickly, our decorative embeds are built to stay beautiful through every season, with zero peeling, fading, or chipping.

Our Interlaken Tree Grate, seen here in a striking 5’ x 10’ format, proves that classic design never goes out of style—especially when scaled for today’s streetscapes.

This grate’s larger footprint not only accommodates healthy tree growth but also makes a bold visual statement in plazas, promenades, and other pedestrian-priority spaces.

The top photo shows our Oblio tree grate as it looked when first installed over 7 years ago. In the bottom photo, you’ll see what’s changed: the breakout rings have been removed to make room for the tree’s growth.

That’s the beauty of a well-designed tree grate—growth is built in. Our breakout rings are designed to be easy to cut on site when the time comes, helping maintain tree health without compromising the surrounding hardscape.

Here’s a reminder from Iron Age president Mark Armstrong to maintain your tree grates! 🌳

Keeping an eye on root flare and making timely breakout ring removals supports long-term tree vitality—and ensures your matures as beautifully as the trees themselves.
