Plastic Root Barrier Panels are a simple and permanent solution to protect your property from root damage by directing root growth downward significantly reducing the roots potential to penetrate nearby sidewalks, walls, driveways, and more. They are proudly made in the USA from High Impact Polypropylene (HIPP) with a factory installed joiner strip that gives a simple and solid connection. Our panels also include a “T” top edge to prevent root overgrowth and an Anchor Lock™ external flange at the base to lock panels in the ground. The panels can be installed either as a long linear line of defense or you can connect them with a 90° angle.

Used in all types of planting installations. The are available in 12”, 18”, 24” and 36" depths.

Installation:

Surround Applications:

  • EP Series Root Barriers can be installed in either a linear or surround configuration. The panels are flexible allowing for the installer to completely surround the tree root base.

    • Linear Applications:

    • Before the tree is planted, connect the root barrier panels to a length of 6 feet. If multiple trees or a row of trees are to be planted, be sure to allow the barrier to extend at least 3 feet to on either side of the first and last trees in the row.
    • Dig a trench along the sidewalk or patio centered on the planting site, 6 feet long and appropriately deep so the top of the root barrier will be 1/2" to 1" above the finished soil grade or flush with the level of the sidewalk or patio, whichever is lower.
    • Place the pre-assembled panels in the trench. Center the root barrier on the planting spot so it extends for 3 feet on either side of the tree trunk. Be sure that the ridges on the root barrier panels are facing the tree. Double check that the root barrier panels are 1/2" to 1" above the soil line.
    • Backfill while taking extra care to keep the root barrier in place.
