Greenfix Soil Stabilisation & Erosion Control - root barriers

Mature tree roots can cause extensive damage to pipework and pavements. Tree roots need oxygen, water and a low enough soil density to penetrate. In urban areas particularly trees can often struggle to find a suitable route through the ground, and the disturbed soil around cables, pipework and paved areas is ideal for the roots.
Applications

Greenfix 400 Rootbarrier is the ideal solution for controlling the spread of tree or shrub roots.

Used vertically and horizontally to line a trench Greenfix 400 Rootbarrier will prevent ingress into pipework which causes leaks and damage which can be costly and difficult to remedy.

 

Used vertically at the edge of paved areas Greenfix 400 Rootbarrier will prevent roots lifting concrete, tarmac or other paving.
