HDPE root barrier is considered the thickest root protection screen that uses High-Density Polyethylene to control tree roots' growth. This screen is ideal for protecting structures and landscapes, including walls, buildings, cables, ducts, and drainage pipes, from mechanical pressures caused by excavators.
Besides installing tree root barriers, root pruning mature trees can also be done to stimulate the tree's growth. This process or the barriers minimize the costly root damage and preserve the health and beauty of trees. Let's look at the key features of the root barrier.
• Easy installation can be done by professionals or experts
• Thick, strong, and impervious to abrasive roots and mechanical stresses
• Maximum protection from root development
• HDPE membrane blocks the passing of water
• Resistant to bacteria and other chemicals
• UV resistant
• High tensile strength and puncture resistance
When installed at the right time, these root barriers are most effective. Let's discuss why these barriers should be used.
1. Safe for the environment: These comprise non-toxic materials that are safe for both the soil and the plants. They have no adverse effects on the environment because chemical sprays are not used in the process.
2. Effectiveness: These are ideal solutions to control the growth of the roots of the trees without actually harming or inhibiting the trees. These create a kind of barrier between the roots and your place. They are designed in such a way that it causes the roots to develop in the opposite direction.
3. Moisture: These barriers are created to retain moisture, unlike the other root control options that don't help in controlling the humidity. Thus, the roots are not only maintained but are fed too.
4. Durable: As these barriers are resistant to UV rays and dense, it is not required to change them as often.
Hence, with easy installation and minimum disruption to the soil and the roots, these barriers are very beneficial for trees and the surroundings.
