Why LandscapePros in Potlatch

Tree Ring Enclosure built for Latah County ground

Nestled in the valley, the ground in Potlatch is heavily influenced by the Palouse River and the historical footprint of the local timber industry. We deal with complex soil profiles across Potlatch and Latah County that require careful compaction and structural fill to handle the transition from forest duff to the clay-heavy townsite. Our crews are particularly careful around old mill sites in Potlatch, where subsurface debris from the early 1900s can often be found lurking just a few feet below the surface.

That local read is the part that matters. Every tree ring enclosure job we take on in Potlatch starts with the same discipline: read the soil, read the drainage, and read what the freeze-thaw cycle will do to the finished work three winters from now. Family-owned since 2005 and still run by the Gladish family — the same crew that walks your property is the crew that builds it.

Common Questions

Tree Ring Enclosure questions, answered

How do you size a tree ring correctly for an established tree?

We start by measuring the drip line (the outer edge of the canopy), then confirm the root flare clearance — the distance from the base of the trunk to where the first structural roots meet the surface. The ring interior edge should be at least 6 inches from the root flare, and the outer diameter should reach at least halfway to the drip line for full root zone benefit. For large established trees, we often consult with a certified arborist if there are any concerns about root proximity before staking the layout.

Will a concrete tree ring damage the tree roots during installation?

The extrusion machine works along the surface without excavating deep into the root zone — unlike installing steel edging or brick rings, which often require digging a trench. The machine's weight is distributed across a wide base and doesn't compact soil at the depth where feeder roots exist. That said, we stake the ring layout before installation and walk the root zone for any surface root intrusions before the machine makes its pass. If significant surface roots are present, we route around them.

What diameter should a tree ring be for a newly planted tree?

For a newly planted 1.5 to 2-inch caliper tree, a 4-foot inner diameter ring is a good starting point — large enough to maintain a meaningful mulch zone, small enough that it doesn't dominate the planting. For 3-inch and larger caliper trees, 5–6 feet is more appropriate. The important thing is that the ring grows with the tree visually — we can install a larger ring from the start if you prefer, since the tree will grow into it within 5–10 years.

Can I have a tree ring installed in a color that matches my house or hardscape?

Yes. Integral color is available in all our standard colors (buff, tan, slate gray, bark brown, terra cotta) and can be custom-mixed to match a specific hardscape material. Tree rings in colored concrete are popular in formal front yard settings where the rings read as designed landscape elements rather than purely functional protection. We show color samples during the estimate and confirm selection before any concrete is poured.
