Root Barrier/Cutting Roots

🌿 Why Root Barriers & Root Management Matter

Tree roots naturally spread in search of water and nutrients, and without proper guidance, they can invade foundations, sidewalks, driveways, plumbing lines, and landscape structures. Root barriers and selective root cutting help control growth, prevent property damage, and keep trees healthy without removing them. This service protects your investment and maintains a safe, manageable landscape.

​

🪚 Safe & Strategic Root Cutting

Root cutting must be done with precision. Cutting the wrong roots, or too many at once, can destabilize or harm the tree. We identify which roots pose a threat and carefully prune them to reduce structural risk, prevent concrete lifting, stop invasive root spread, or to get any surfacing roots that may cause problems. Each cut is planned to protect the tree’s health and balance while solving the issue that caused the root problem in the first place.

📏 Polypropylene Root Barriers (12–18 Inch Systems)

We install professional-grade 12–18 inch polypropylene root barriers to guide roots away from structures and redirect future growth. These barriers act as a long-term underground shield, preventing roots from pushing into foundations, patios, fences, and other hardscape areas. Designed for durability and resistance to soil conditions, they create a controlled growth path that keeps roots contained without harming the tree.

🛠️ Professional Installation for Lasting Protection

Root barrier installation involves trenching, placing the barrier vertically, and backfilling with care to ensure proper alignment and long-term effectiveness. We install barriers with precision, making sure they sit at the correct depth and angle to redirect roots safely. Combined with targeted root pruning, this provides a long-lasting solution that protects your property while preserving the health of your trees.
