Duckbill 68 RBK Root Ball Kit – Underground Tree Anchoring System
The Duckbill 68 RBK Kit is a complete underground root ball anchoring system designed for securing newly planted trees where traditional guying with stakes is not practical or desired. Ideal for urban landscaping, sidewalk plantings, playgrounds, and high-traffic areas, this kit holds the root ball firmly in place without any visible surface components.
Each RBK (Root Ball Kit) includes three Duckbill 68 anchors pre-attached with galvanized cable and a heavy-duty ratcheting strap for anchoring the tree’s root ball beneath the soil.
