Get rid of pesky roots

Tired of pesky tree roots? Our root control fabric blocks and redirects roots without harming your tree.

Safe for your tree

We use a non systemic herbicide that acts as a deterrent pheromone, re-directing root growth with out adversely affecting the tree's overall health.

Eliminates root growth towards the protected area

The fabric features time-release nodules which are filled with herbicide that functions to prevent the occurrence of root-tip cell division without affecting the tree's overall health.

Biobarrier is an excellent root control system for many landscaping situations. Examples include home and all building foundations, sidewalks, swimming pools, gardens, and outdoor sporting courts.

Root control is another great service that Tree PhD Urban Forestry offers customers!

We have all seen a sidewalk that has had portions of it cracked an pushed up due to the growth of roots from a nearby tree. Similar effects happen to all sorts of other structures, most importantly and costly to repair, your foundation because there is nothing in place to prevent the roots from causing damage.

While physical barriers alone can create root girdling, BioBarrier stops continued root growth allowing for healthier trees. Placed beside the object to be protected, BioBarrier creates a zone of protection on all sides of the nodules. Roots growing into the zone are redirected while roots outside the zone continue to grow normally; tree health is not impacted since Trifluralin is not systemic.
