Root Barriers: Invisible Protection for Infrastructure and Vegetation
Root barriers are underground devices designed to control the growth of tree and shrub roots. Though hidden from view once installed, they play a crucial role in protecting nearby infrastructure and plant life.
Uncontrolled root growth can damage sidewalks, roads, walls, building foundations, and underground utilities such as water pipes, electrical lines, and telecommunications cables. Root barriers form a physical barrier that redirects roots away from sensitive areas, guiding their growth without harming the plant.
Strategically placed, root barriers help preserve critical underground networks and reduce maintenance costs. They are especially useful in containing aggressive or invasive species like bamboo or Japanese knotweed, preventing them from spreading and outcompeting other plants.

The barrier is semi-rigid at 1mm thick enabling ease of handling.
Its high puncture resistance makes it an ideal solution to fight against strong root systems such as bamboo.
