Root Barrier Fabric: Long-Term Protection for Your Landscape

When it comes to safeguarding your hardscapes and landscapes from the destructive force of tree roots, our Root Barrier Fabric is a game-changer. Manufactured in the USA and guaranteed by Typar for 15 years, this fabric provides a simple yet effective solution to prevent root intrusion, while still allowing trees to thrive.

Why Root Barrier Fabric?

Tree roots, while essential for a tree’s survival, can wreak havoc on sidewalks, patios, driveways, and other structures. As trees grow, their roots spread out in search of nutrients and water, often causing cracks and lifting in paved areas. This can lead to costly repairs and unsafe conditions. Root Barrier Fabric provides a proactive defense against this kind of damage.

The secret behind this product’s effectiveness lies in its design. The fabric incorporates Trifluralin, a herbicide that prevents root tip cell division without harming the tree itself. By stopping the roots from growing into areas where they’re not wanted, the fabric protects both the tree and your investment in your landscape.

How Does It Work?

Our Root Barrier Fabric can be installed both horizontally and vertically, making it versatile for a variety of applications.

• Horizontal Installations: When laid horizontally, the fabric forms a protective barrier between the tree’s roots and nearby hardscapes. This is ideal for use beneath sidewalks, patios, and driveways, providing long-term protection while allowing trees to grow undisturbed.

• Vertical Installations: Installed vertically, the fabric creates a wall that directs roots downward rather than outward. This method is often used along property lines or beside walls, fences, and foundations to prevent structural damage.

Despite its ability to stop root growth in targeted areas, the fabric is permeable, allowing essential water, air, and nutrients to reach the tree. This ensures that your trees remain healthy while the hardscape around them stays intact.

Residential and Commercial Applications

Whether you're working on a residential project or a large commercial development, Root Barrier Fabric offers a reliable solution.

• Residential Use: Homeowners can install the fabric to protect their driveways, sidewalks, and garden beds from invasive tree roots. It is especially useful in urban settings where space is limited, and trees are often planted near hardscapes.

• Commercial Use: Landscapers and contractors working on commercial properties will appreciate the long-term durability of this product. It helps ensure that parking lots, sidewalks, and other infrastructure remain free from damage caused by root intrusion, avoiding costly repairs and preserving the aesthetics of the space.
