What is a root barrier?

A root barrier is a reinforced underground wall (typically 18–36 inches deep) designed to redirect root growth downward and away from structures. In the Houston area, where mature oaks and other shade trees thrive, roots naturally seek moisture under slabs and sidewalks causing cracks, uneven settling, and plumbing issues.


Root Barrier Benefits:


✔ Prevents foundation damage
✔ Stops surface roots from lifting concrete
✔ Protects sewer & water lines
✔ Maintains property value
✔ Reduces long term repair costs
✔ Protects driveways, sidewalks & patios



How A Root Barrier Protects Your Property:


  • Trench Excavation: We dig a precise trench (typically 2-3 feet deep) along the root path, avoiding major root damage.


  • Barrier Placement: High grade deep root barriers are inserted vertically, forcing roots to grow deeper for stability.


  • Root Redirection: The system blocks lateral growth, preventing uplift or moisture theft that leads to foundation shifts.


  • Backfill and Restore: Soil is replaced, and your lawn is ready for seamless integration or new tree planting.

PROTECTING YOUR PROPERTY BELOW THE SURFACE


Signs You Need A Root Barrier for foundations

Spotting root intrusion and foundation issues early can save you from very expensive fixes. Watch for these common indicators:


  • Cracks in Driveways or Sidewalks: Uplifting concrete signals aggressive root expansion.


  • Foundation Shifts: Doors sticking, uneven floors, or wall gaps often stem from soil shrinkage under your slab.


  • Plumbing or Utility Issues: Gurgling drains or low water pressure may indicate roots invading pipes.


  • Visible Surface Roots: Bulging turf near trees shows roots seeking surface water.

Root Barrier FAQs

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • How much does a root barrier cost?

    Most residential root barrier installation cost $1,500–$4,000, depending on tree size and linear footage (get a free quote!). For many families, installing a tree root barrier costs a fraction of what foundation or plumbing repairs would cost later.

  • How deep does a root barrier need to be?

    Most installations are 18–36 inches, depending on root size and soil conditions.

  • What's the difference between root barriers and chemical root control?

    Barriers provide physical, long term redirection (50+ years), while chemicals are temporary. We recommend barriers for sustainable protection.
