The Root Barrier 260 Permeable Roll is a professional-grade solution engineered to protect properties, utilities, patios, and landscaping from invasive tree roots. Over time, tree roots can cause significant structural damage to underground pipes, drainage systems, paving, and nearby vegetation, leading to costly repairs. This permeable root barrier provides a durable, effective method to guide tree roots safely downward, preventing upward growth that could compromise hard landscaping or essential services.
Designed for commercial and large-scale planting projects, the Root Barrier 260 Permeable Roll is installed vertically around trees, shrubs, or plants. Its modular vertical and horizontal anchor sections can be easily connected in multiple configurations, surrounding the tree or planting area and ensuring roots are guided away from critical structures while allowing water and air to permeate the soil. Ideal for landowners, farmers, forestry projects, urban planting schemes, and estate managers, this root barrier offers long-term protection with minimal maintenance.
