The Tree Root Control Barrier is a heavy-duty, 36-inch deep, 25-foot long root shield made from recycled high-density polyethylene. Engineered with 100 mil thickness and tested to withstand 200 lbs of puncture force, it effectively directs tree roots downward to prevent damage to sidewalks, driveways, septic systems, and more. Designed for new or young plantings, this durable barrier reduces costly repairs and liability risks while promoting healthier root growth.

## Description

Plan before you plant. Planning and installing Sidewalk Shield can avoid costly replacement of sidewalks, roads, driveways, septic systems, etc. Over time, tree roots can expand and crack roads, driveways and sidewalks. Tree roots can also interfere with septic lines and cause drainage issues too. Sidewalk Shield promotes downward growth to prevent the upheaval of roads and sidewalks. Tree root growth is unpredictable and generally opportunistic in growth patterns without regard for surrounding structures. Downward growth provides greater long-term health and allows for longevity of sidewalk and roads in adjacent areas. In addition, uplifted sidewalks and driveways can cause serious tripping hazards that can become liability issues, it may also block wheelchair access. Installation of Sidewalk Shield directs the tree roots in a downward fashion to protect sidewalks, roads, trees, and ultimately people. Installation: Locate and confirm the locations of all underground utility lines and structures prior to starting any excavation area. Sidewalk Shield should only be used on new or young plantings. The shield can be utilized on young plantings if it can be installed without disrupting existing root growth. There are two basic type of tree pits. Surround pits are smaller tree pits used to enclose a single tree. Linear or continuous pits are longer pits design to contain multiple trees and a larger green space. Tree pits should be as large as possible to allow for ample growing space for tree roots and continuous tree pits is advantageous whenever possible. We are proud of this product design to help people and an improvement on existing products. Please try Sidewalk Shield on your projects and experience the difference.

Review: Great product -- Thick enough bendable and sturdy. - We have bamboo encroaching up to 20 feet into our yard from our neighbor behind us. Great neighbors but they neglected to put up any barrier between our yards for five or six years when we became aware of the encroachment. When they did put in a barrier it was too late because the roots have grow laterally underground into our yard and to an area we use to grow tomatoes. To clear this area of bamboo we had it dug up to the depth of 18 inches, removing dozens of 1/2 inch diameter roots, mostly 6" to 12" underground. We then lined the perimeter of thos area with this high density mylar barrier and replaced the soil. The barrier is sturdy enough to stand up on its own when placed around the perimeter. No framing was required. Don't ever plant bamboo without using a formidable penetration barrier such as this item. Without a barrier it will spread within your yard, and to every neighbor of yours. It can't be killed. The only remedy is for the neighbors to dig up their own yard to remove the roots, and doing so will necessarilyl uproot every plant or bush or tree. If you must, just plant bamboo in a big pot. Thirty years ago a local builder offered to line our street with small beautiful trees in the berm between the sidewalk and street. Now 30 years later the roots to the tree have uplifted the sidewalk. Thousands of dollars to replace it. Also costly to rent cement grinder to level it. A few feet of this barrier between where the trees were planted and the sidewalk would have prevented this problem.
Review: Very durable product. - This was used to create a barrier to keep existing bamboo from going under my fence and into neighbors yard. Product is very well made. Since it come in a roll I left it unrolled and weighted down on my patio for a few days to get the coil memory out so its easier to handle. Trying to dig the trench and install this was difficult since the bamboo had already rooted all over the place. Those roots needed to be removed before installing this. If you are thinking about growing bamboo this product should be installed around the area before planting the bamboo to keep it under control. Excellent product. It was install between fence and bamboo.
