HDPE Root Barrier

HDPE Root Barrier

HDPE Root Barrier is an effective underground solution designed to block invasive roots from damaging nearby structures like foundations, pavements, pipelines, and garden landscapes. Manufactured from high-density polyethylene, these barriers are tough, flexible, and chemically inert—making them ideal for long-term root protection.

At Prime Terratech, we manufacture high-quality HDPE Root Barriers engineered to resist root penetration while allowing proper water drainage and soil aeration. Our barriers are UV-stabilized, corrosion-resistant, and suitable for residential, commercial, and agricultural applications.

Available in various thicknesses and roll sizes, these HDPE Root Protection Covers are easy to install and offer lasting protection without degrading over time. Whether for tree-lined driveways, urban green spaces, or plantation zones, our root barriers provide a safe and cost-effective solution for controlling root intrusion.

Product Details

HDPE Root Barriers are physical underground sheets designed to control aggressive root systems from encroaching into areas where they can cause damage to infrastructure. These sheets are made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), offering a reliable and non-toxic solution to manage the growth direction of tree roots and plants.

At Prime Terratech, our HDPE Root Barrier sheets are manufactured with premium-grade virgin HDPE material, ensuring excellent tensile strength, chemical resistance, and weatherability. The product is engineered to be flexible enough for curved installations while maintaining rigidity to act as a durable root defense shield.

Our root protection covers are widely used in landscaping, urban construction, agriculture, and horticulture. They help preserve pavements, foundations, water tanks, pipeline trenches, and other sensitive zones from root-induced cracking or blockage.
