"Root Barriers are an engineered solution retain and save Trees and also protect civil structures.
Root Barrier® has devised an environmentally friendly solution to removing down trees that are considered too close to property and to saving buildings from cracking footpaths form heaving. They also act as moisture barrier preventing building movement dues to excessive moisture movement in reactive soils. The product has been developed in conjunction with Civil engineers, Horticultural experts to devise a practical and affordable solution.
Root Barrier has since helped thousands of people stabilize their homes’ foundations nationwide with specially engineered high density polyethylene cut-off walls.
These are Engineer certified and Australian building code compliant; waterproof, flexible and form an impenetrable barrier against tree roots and excessive moisture and damp.
“Trees, which in the past had to be removed because of their damaging effect on foundations, can now remain and exist quite happily alongside the buildings, without causing any problems underground.”
Root Barrier® is an innovative product designed for protecting civil works such as ;Roads, Kerbs, Footpaths, Underground Services. For locations where a vertical root barrier is not suitable UPGI (Under Path Growth Inhibitor) will give good protections to this infrastructure preventing root growth propagation and heaving of the civil surface structures such as artificial turf pavers and concrete.
