Root Barriers

Roots can quickly cause cracking and buckling problems, therefore, root control is often needed for the following areas and much more:
  • Streets
  • Sidewalk
  • Parking Lots
  • Patio
  • Utility Lines
  • Swimming pools
  • Tennis courts
  • Foundations

We utilize the latest technology for root control systems. Biobarrier is the product we use which is an award-winning, state of the art technology using the finest materials. Bobarrier is an advanced long-term root control system, which incorporates time-release nodules.

When strategically placed in the soil, it prevents structural damage from root encroachment. Biobarrier will cause roots to grow in another direction. The effective life of Biobarrier is 15 years or more depending on the application. Biobarrier is a flexible geotextile fabric and easily fits the contour of any job site unlike some plastic barriers that can protrude above ground and be unsightly as well as a tripping hazard. The geotextile fabric is porous to allow air, nutrients and water through it so that soil hydrology can continue to be healthy.
