Root Barriers

Project-Managed, Root Barrier Design and Installation Service

Root barriers are a potential alternative option to tree removals and engineered solutions in subsidence damage claims. They usually offer considerable cost advantages relative to underpinning and offer significant amenity and environmental benefits where trees are retained as a result of their installation. However, Root Barriers are not always viable in urban and suburban situations. Consideration needs to be given to the future health and stability of retained trees requiring expert arboricultural advice. Below ground services may but do not always prevent a root barrier being installed.

We have considerable experience of installing root barriers of varying lengths and depths and in often challenging situations. Each project is based on individual site conditions with bespoke design, specification and method statements being drafted accordingly.
