[0048] Specifically, during construction, a tree pit is dug in the tree planting area, the adjacent driveway or the hard pavement, and the bracket devices 100 are installed in the tree pit. A drainage system (not shown in the figure) can be installed in the space formed by the hexagonal bracket elements 1, a root ball is planted in the center hole formed by the bracket devices, then backfilling the soil into the tree pits, and finally covering up the surface of the planting area to restore hard pavement for people and vehicles to pass.
[0049] As such, the hexagonal bracket elements 1 are more stable than the rectangular shape and can be combined indefinitely into a nearly circular bracket device 100, and the cover 60 can fix the hexagonal bracket elements 1 to one another to increase the system stability. The overall structural strength is better to protect soil from compaction and the quasi-round shape is more suitable for the roots in the root ball to grow.
[0050] Furthermore, the first corner complete elements 40 and the second corner complete elements 50 can reinforce the structural strength of the corners 21 of the hexagonal bracket element 1, and the covers 60 can fix the first corner complete elements 40, the second corner complete elements 50, and the hexagonal bracket elements 1 to each other, so that the overall structural strength is better and the effect of supporting soil is better.

[0054] As shown in
[0055] Specifically, during construction, a tree pit is dug in the tree planting area, the adjacent driveway or the hard pavement, and the first embodiment of the bracket system 1000 is installed in the tree pit. A drain system (not shown) can be installed in the space formed by the hexagonal bracket elements 1, planting a root ball in the first center hole formed by the bracket devices, then backfilling the soil into the tree pits, and finally covering up the surface of the planting area to restore hard pavement for people and vehicles to pass.
[0056] Compared with three bracket devices 100, through the serial connection and support of the columns 70, the first embodiment of the bracket system 1000 provides better overall structural strength and the effect of supporting the soil is better.
[0057] Furthermore, through the serial connection and support of the columns 70, the second embodiment of the bracket system 1000A can create a deeper and wider tree pit, and can provide a deeper and wider growth space for the tree's root system.

[0065] Specifically, during construction, a tree pit is dug in the tree planting area, the adjacent driveway or the hard pavement, and the second embodiment of the bracket system 1000A is installed in the tree pit. A drainage system (not shown) can be installed in the space formed by the hexagonal bracket elements 1A, and a root ball is planted in the first center hole, the second center hole and the third center hole formed by the bracket devices, then backfilling the soil into the tree pits, and finally covering up the surface of the planting area to restore hard pavement for people and vehicles to pass.
[0066] Compared to three bracket devices 100 and the first embodiment of the bracket system 1000, the second embodiment of the bracket system 1000A, through the serial connection with support of first columns 70A and the second columns 70B, provides stronger overall structural strength and support the soil better.
[0067] Furthermore, through the serial connection and support of the first columns 70A and the second columns 70B, the second embodiment of the bracket system 1000A can create a deeper and wider tree cavity, and can provide a deeper and wider room for the tree root system to grow.
[0068] In addition, the soil below requires stronger supporting force, so the second column 50B with a larger diameter is required to further strengthen the overall structural strength of the second embodiment of the bracket system 1000A, and the effect of supporting the soil is even better.
[0069] Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments thereof, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that a variety of modifications and changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention which is intended to be defined by the appended claims.
