Root Barrier Installation

Root barrier installation is a technique used to control the growth of tree and plant roots, preventing them from damaging structures such as foundations, sidewalks, driveways, and underground utilities. Root barriers are typically made of durable plastic or metal sheets and are installed vertically in the soil around the root zone of the plant. The barrier directs roots downward or away from the protected area, reducing the risk of root intrusion and related damage. This technique is essential in urban and residential landscaping where trees are planted close to buildings or hardscapes. Proper root barrier installation helps maintain the health of trees while protecting nearby structures from costly root damage.
