Root Barrier
HDPE Root Barrier System for Tree Root Control & Foundation Protection
Product Overview
Root Barrier provides an effective physical barrier that prevents aggressive tree roots from damaging surrounding structures and hardscape elements. Manufactured from UV-protected High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), the panels feature vertical root-deflecting ribs that encourage roots to grow deeper into the soil instead of spreading horizontally. This improves tree anchorage, minimizes maintenance costs, and extends the lifespan of nearby infrastructure.
