Protect your property from tree root damage

Tree roots can cause considerable damage to a homeowner’s property. In many instances, the damage

could have been avoided by having a root barrier professionally installed. Root barriers help prevent

root growth beyond a designated point. There are several different designs and materials from which

they are made. Some are made from solid sheets of plastic while others are made of fabric that is impregnated with a chemical that retards growth at the tips of the growing roots.

Generally, the root barrier is installed in a trench that is dug along the edge of the property to be

protected (i.e., foundations, driveways, swimming pools, etc.). One of the most important issues to take

into consideration when having a root barrier installed is ensuring that the roots are cut properly. Tree roots must be cut clean and carefully, so that the least amount of damage occurs.
