What are corten steel plant rings?
Plant rings, tree rings, or garden rings are pre-rolled or pre-formed solid shapes designed to provide edge resistance. The purpose of garden plant rings is to allow young trees, plants, and shrubs to become established while protecting them from any damage they can get from things from the garden surface, like from mowing.

Benefits of plant rings
- Protects the planting
Plant rings protect plants from any collision. If a robotic lawnmower bumps into the newly planted tree, it can damage the whole plant or cause trimming. It can result in poor growth, or it can die.
Furthermore, if you want to place an irrigation bag wrapped around the tree, you can easily fit it in the ring, and the ring will protect it too the same way it protects the plant.
- No loop signal hassle
To reduce the workload and get leisure time, you must have opted for a robotic lawnmower. Now when it’s time for new planting, you realize that there needs to relay the boundary wire; otherwise robotic lawnmower does not get the loop signal and will bump into the plant.
The solution is our plant ring. Its extended edges will be a natural stop for the robotic lawnmower.
- Avoids soil compaction
A fantastic benefit is that plant rings avoid soil compaction around the tree base or roots because this soil will remain protected from stress/pressure or any harm. It will lead to the plant’s healthier growth.
- Avoids weeds
After plant ring installation, the distance between the grass surface will be broad. It will keep the weeds away. Therefore, there will be nothing that can absorb the nutrients that should go to the tree to flourish.
- Make gardening maintenace easy
No weeds, no soil compaction, and no loop signal hassle will make the gardening easy and keep it looking clean.

When to plant in garden rings
Garden plant rings are best, but when you know the right time or season to plant the trees then these will flourish fully.
Usually, it is the late summer and springtime to plant fruit trees, shrubs, etc. However, in early autumn, when it does not get cold, the air has maximum moisture, and the soil is warmer, which helps the plant establish itself properly by having stronger roots.
Knowing the best time to grow a plant will fully benefit the plant by protecting its growth in the growing season.

Step 1: Mark out and cut
Place the pieces of plant ring around the tree base in a manner like when it would be assembled and installed, while the teeth of it face up. It will determine the area that needs to be excavated. Then use a knife to mark that area.
Step 2: Excavate
Now dig out the marked area. Make sure you don’t dig too deep that it cut the roots. Remove excess turf and soil. Reserve some turf if you need to backfill later.
Step 3: Assembling and install
Now place the corten steel plant ring pieces around the tree base, and assemble them with nuts and bolts supplied in the packaging. When you have positioned it in a marked place, tap it down. The plant ring’s base should be enough high where soil and grass meet.
Now hammer it down while having wood block between. This way, you can avoid damaging your new plant ring. When you are hammering one piece of plant ring down, putting pressure with your foot on its one side will help you install faster.
Step 4: Finishing
This is an optional step. Some people find it tidy and clean, having bark mulch around the tree. So, you can also put bark mulch inside the plant ring.
