Our Landscape and Transplant crew installed root barrier around the edge of this pool deck. Root barrier acts as an underground wall that keeps plant or tree roots and hardscapes from conflicting. First Choice uses waterjet technology, a high water pressure process to trench and vacuum the slurry from the ground. This process has a minimal impact on the landscape, hardscape and plant material. The root barrier is then placed in the trench and backfilled with soil.

 

Root barrier is a great option for aggressive root systems because it re-directs the roots from landscapes and hardscapes, preventing potentially costly damage to one or both. This entire course of action can save costly repairs on sidewalks, driveways, property walls, pool decks and underground utilities.
