Root barrier is the placement of a specially made plastic barrier system up to 1.5 metres deep and as long as required to minimise the damage to buildings, sidewalks, roads, drive ways etc caused by invasive roots. This is an effective form of treatment for root issues if trained professionals are allowed to install and maintain. At Enviro-Tech Industries our staff evaluate whether the root barrier would be the most suitable or viable option for the circumstance and advise accordingly.

Root barrier can be utilised in the situation of soil subsidence and managing moisture issues around foundations and structures. Putting root barrier to close to the stem of the tree can accentuate the risk of the tree falling over and causing damage or injury, so only appropriately trained personal are allowed to install it in our company.
