There are many situations where tree roots can be allowed to spread freely in certain directions, but must be restricted from preceding into an adjacent property, or under pavement, or towards the foundations of a building, or underground services. In these circumstances a continuous durable physical barrier of sufficient depth is often the answer. Rootstop Root Control Barrier is robust, and its rigidity makes it easy to lay in a narrow trench which can be dug by a trenching machine or narrow backhoe bucket. Rootstop is constructed from a special plastic formulation, which does not become brittle and break down in the ground, nor is affected by chemical leaching into the soil.

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.
