FAQs

What is a root barrier used for?

A root barrier helps redirect tree roots downward rather than allowing them to spread near the surface. This can help reduce root interference with sidewalks, driveways, foundations, retaining walls, and underground utilities.

Can this be installed around existing trees?

Yes. It can be installed around established trees, although installation is generally easier and most effective when used with new or younger trees before extensive root systems develop.

Can I cut the barrier to a custom size?

Yes. The HDPE material can be trimmed with a utility knife or heavy-duty cutting tool to fit your project requirements.

What's the advantage of a 30 Mil flexible barrier?

A 30 Mil barrier offers an excellent balance of durability and flexibility. It is easier to handle and install around curves and irregular planting areas than thicker, more rigid root barrier panels while still providing dependable root guidance for many landscaping applications.
