Detailed description: Semi-rigid root barrier

Root barrier, you said?

As plants, trees, and shrubs grow, their roots can damage sidewalks, roads, walls, building foundations, and underground utilities. A root barrier creates a physical obstacle that prevents roots from entering sensitive areas, redirecting and channeling their growth. Installed underground and invisible once in place, root barriers limit or guide root development to protect infrastructure and other plants. Strategically placed, they safeguard underground networks such as water, electricity, gas, and telecom lines. Root barriers also help contain invasive plants like bamboo or Japanese knotweed, preventing them from spreading to nearby vegetation.

The Plantcotex™ Racine Lisse is a root barrier made of 1000 g/m² extruded HDPE, providing high puncture resistance and making it an ideal solution for controlling powerful root systems such as bamboo or maritime pines. Using the included junction kits, these semi-rigid barriers can be securely connected, allowing installation over long stretches.
