Tree Root Barrier Installation

Tree root barrier installation is a preventive maintenance practice used to control the spread of tree roots and protect nearby structures, such as sidewalks, driveways, and foundations, from root damage. Root barriers are typically made from durable materials like plastic, metal, or fabric and are installed vertically in the soil to direct roots downward rather than outward. This practice is especially important for trees planted close to hardscape elements or buildings, where uncontrolled root growth can lead to cracks, upheaval, and other structural issues. Installing root barriers as part of a comprehensive landscape management plan helps to preserve the health of both the trees and surrounding infrastructure, preventing costly repairs and ensuring long-term landscape stability.
