Tree roots can get out of control pretty fast. They can intrude onto driveways, sidewalks, pavement and begin to cause cracking and buckling. We provide the latest in technology for root control systems. The product we use as a root barrier is called "Biobarrier".
Biobarrier® is an award-winning, state-of-the-art technology using the finest materials. Designed as a long-term solution for vegetative root intrusion and possible structure damage, Biobarrier combines a proven geotextile fabric with the effective pre-emergence herbicide, trifluralin. Trifluralin, the active ingredient in Biobarrier, has been used extensively in commercial applications for more than 35 years and is widely recognized as a leading pre-emergence herbicide.
Biobarrier Root Control System prevents tree roots from growing in a zone around the fabric. Placed between a tree root and the area to be protected, such as a sidewalk, road, building, golf course green or anywhere that roots can cause damage, Biobarrier creates a barrier that causes roots to grow in another direction. Unlike solid plastic barriers, it does not need to protrude above ground where it could be a tripping hazard and costly liability. Because it is a flexible geotextile fabric, Biobarrier easily fits the contours of any job site and comes with a 15 year guarantee.
