IRONSMITH, Inc.

MANUFACTURER OVERVIEW

IRONSMITH, Inc. manufactures architectural metal systems for integrating trees, drainage, and site protection within paved environments. Core product lines include tree grates, trench and drain grates, bollards, tree guards, and the Paver-Grate® suspended paving system. These products are used in streetscapes, plazas, campuses, and similar settings where pedestrian circulation, tree health, and drainage must be coordinated within hardscape conditions. Tree grates are produced in standard sizes with small-slot openings suited for pedestrian use, along with custom configurations for project-specific openings and site coordination. The Paver-Grate® system supports unit paving over tree pits and subsurface infrastructure, maintaining accessible surfaces while preserving root zones. In-house pattern development, CNC machining, and prototyping support both standard production and custom fabrication.
