Proper maintenance is also affected by the size of the tree grate. Larger grates can collect debris and organic matter, which may require more frequent cleaning to prevent unsightly clutter and to ensure that water can infiltrate the soil effectively.

Their durability means fewer replacements, while their sealing efficiency can reduce the costs related to environmental cleanup and infrastructure repair.
