Enviro Root Barrier protects service pipes, cables, drainage, foundations of drives, footpaths, highways and buildings in any situation where there is risk from root spread. The vigorous growth of tree and shrub root systems which cause costly and unsightly damage to paving and tarmac can be effectively prevented by an Enviro Root Barrier in a back filled trench.

Applications include:

• New development close to existing mature trees
• New developments planted out with young trees and shrubs
• Landscape schemes where trees and shrubs are close to access road and car parks
• Shopping malls and pedestrian areas where young trees are planted
• Tennis Courts, bowling greens, running tracks and specialised sports areas

Enviro Root Barrier can be positioned close to services or footpath and highway edges or around individual trees or shrubberies. The membrane, which is available in sizes to suit site requirements, is installed as an entire panel or in overlapped sections in a backfilled trench to a depth below the anticipated levels of the roots. There is no need for a wide trench and no need for concrete.

Enviro Root Barrier effectively deflects vigorously growing root systems, acts as an impermeable barrier for more than 50 years, resists root penetration of existing mature trees and is resistant to rodent and insect attack.   It offers protection against all root systems including Japanese Knot Weed.
