ROOT BARRIER

FLEXIBLE WATERPROOF CUT-OFF WALLS

COMPANY PROFILE

Since 1992, Root Barrier has created barriers that allow buildings and infrastructure to cohabit happily side-by-side with trees. Root Barrier’s product range provides proven flexible waterproof cut-off walls that separate building foundations from the effects of plants and seasonal variation in clay soils.

Additional products developed by Root Barrier include Under Path Growth Inhibitors (UPGI), for use under concrete paths and around service trenches. This material passes EPA requirements, is environmentally friendly, economical and, best of all, it works. 

Root Barrier offers technical support and material supply only, or a complete supply and install service as needed.
