DeepRoot Tree Root Barrier, Tree Circle Weed Barrier, Root Shield for Sidewalks, Driveways, & Patios, 24" Depth, 24" Width, 20 Panels per Pack, 40 Linear Feet Total, Black

We installed these to keep the tree roots out of our brand new lawn. Easy to put together and install.

The hardest part was digging the trench at the fence line and cutting roots from my neighbor's oak tree that were growing into my yard. The roots take up moisture from the soil, making it difficult for grass to grow. I expect the root barrier will help to prevent this from happening again. The root barrier was easy to assemble and put into the trench.

I had an issue with tree roots under my above ground pool liner and had to get a new liner installed. To avoid this issue re-occurring, I put this around half the pool (side facing a tree line) and it has done great with new re-occurring tree roots under the pool liner.

Will be worth the effort to use this. Pearce of mind that our patio is stay root damage Free & our neighbors won’t see any unexpected aspens babies growing in their yard! Aspen roots are notorious for spreading, but only go down 12” or a bit more. I got the 18” down, big peace of mind so worth the extra time.

A section of our driveway lifted up by 2 inches and had to be replaced. After removing the old concrete we set out to dig up any roots and we had roots the size of small tree trunks growing under the driveway. Cutting them out and simply putting new concrete over top of it would be foolish and a giant waste of time and money. So we took the time to dig down deep enough to insert these panels which should keep out the roots for a very long time. One trick we used was to use a jack hammer with a spade bit and sliced out a trough deep enough for the panels that was only about 3 inches wide. Then we pounded the panels down to proper height. This saved having to dig a trench 18 inches deep in very hard pack ground.These will work for many situations where roots need to be blocked. Quality material.

I have a block wall fence between my yard and neighbor and they have a tree planted a couple of feet from fence on their side. After ten years I discovered roots had invaded my yard after traveling under the footer of the wall. I dug a ditch next to the wall and cut the large roots with a saws-all and a tree pruning blade. I chopped off smaller roots with the shovel. I then placed these barriers in before replacing the dirt. They assemble great and slide into place as I move along the wall and dig up and cut and place the barriers one section at a time. I am doing a section at a time because I suspect a ditch along the fence for any significant length could compromise the support of the footer under the wall and cause the wall to fall over on me, which would be a very bad thing.

I love that this will keep the roots down from a growing tree planted by my neighbors. This was hard work digging a trench for these to go down into the ground. It’s study and durable. It’s not easy to install but it’s worth it as I’m hoping the roots will not come to the top of my lawn the older the tree gets. Only time will tell. I’m hopeful though.

It went together as supposed, I think I solved my pool from my "Neighbors Roots "lol . I was constantly finding root systems growing under my liner, having to drain pool and clear roots. I dug around permiter, installed barrier and hopefully NO roots!
