Signs You Need Root Barriers
Cracks in your foundation or driveway near large trees are a sign that roots may be involved. Uneven concrete near trees, especially where one side has lifted, indicates root pressure beneath the surface.
Foundation movement that correlates with dry seasons — when trees draw more moisture from the soil — suggests root-related soil shrinkage. Visible surface roots near the foundation that are growing toward the house will eventually reach it underground.
If you have large trees within 20 feet of your foundation, root barriers are worth considering even before you see damage. Prevention is far less expensive than repair.
Our Root Barriers Options
We install root barriers by digging a trench between the tree and the foundation. The barrier is a rigid panel made of high-density polyethylene that extends 18-24 inches into the ground. It deflects roots downward and away from the foundation rather than blocking them entirely, which would harm the tree.
The barrier is installed at an angle that guides roots deeper into the soil where they can't affect the foundation. This approach protects the foundation while keeping the tree healthy.
For existing root damage, we may need to address the foundation issues separately before installing the barrier. We assess the situation during the In-Depth Evaluation and recommend the right sequence of repairs.
Root Barriers for Fort Worth Homes
Fort Worth and the DFW area have many mature trees, and the combination of clay soils and seasonal drought creates ideal conditions for root-related foundation damage. Clay soils shrink significantly during dry periods, and tree roots accelerate this process by extracting moisture from the soil near the foundation.
We've installed root barriers across Fort Worth, Benbrook, Dallas, Arlington, Burleson, Keller, Aledo, Weatherford, Willow Park, Watauga, and Lakeside. Our crews understand local tree species and their root behavior, which helps us design effective barrier systems.
What to Expect
We start with a in-depth evaluation to evaluate the tree locations, root patterns, and foundation condition. We identify the best barrier placement to protect the foundation while minimizing impact on the trees.
Root barrier installation typically takes one day. We dig the trench, install the panels, and backfill. We restore the yard surface after installation and provide a Industry Best Warranty on our work.
