LINEAR
Provide maximum hardscape protection while utilizing all available rooting space for
improved tree health by placing guides in a straight line directly along the hardscape to
be protected.
SURROUND
Protect hardscapes that surround a planting on all four sides. Plan to line the perimeter
of the planting area with the panels—this provides the maximum available uncompacted
soil volume for immediate root growth.
ROOT PRUNING
Root pruning can help save existing trees and prevent future damage to paving.
Disruptive roots are cleanly cut and removed; linear Root Barrier is then installed. There
are limitations to root pruning and an ISA Certified Arborist should be consulted.
HOW TO SPECIFY:
1. Determine linear, surround, root pruning or specialty application.
2. Pick appropriate barrier depth for application and site.
3. Calculate number of panels required.
4. For details on these or any other installation instructions, please refer to our
Specification and Installation Manual, or visit www.deeproot.com.
