Our Oak Tree Root Barrier is a durable plastic material that is used to protect hardscaped and landscaped areas from tree root damage. The 100 mil thick plastic barrier is made of high density polyethylene and is commercial grade which can be used in vertical or horizontal applications.

These barriers are commercial grade, non-biodegradable and waterproof which helps to make these a long term solution when needing to protect an area from root damage. This product has a built in UV inhibitor to resist breakdown from ultraviolet light. It will not rot or mildew and is resistant to rodent and insect damage.

When not installed in direct sunlight, the Oak Tree Root Barrier has an estimated 100 year material lifespan.

 

*The widest HDPE roll that we offer is currently 5’ (60 inches).

Please note that we are unable to provide custom roll lengths.

We also offer rigid HDPE in 48" x 96" sheets in both black and white colors.

Connecting HDPE Pieces

There are two ways to connect multiple pieces of HDPE together. One method is to overlap the HDPE and use our double sided seam tape to connect the two pieces. The other method is to butt the ends together and use our 17 mil single sided seam tape to create a solid connection.

Overlap Method
(for underground installations)

The overlap method is best used when connecting two pieces of HDPE in a buried application. Due to the overlap, a ridge is exposed which is not ideal when installed in exposed vertical or flat installations in high traffic areas as there is a possibility of an object catching on the ridge and pulling the two pieces apart.

In a below ground installation, the large overlap area provides a more water resistant connection as well as enhanced protection against tree and plant root intrusion.

End to End Method
(for exposed installations)

When installing HDPE on a wall, floor or anywhere that is exposed, the end to end method provides a secure connection and does not leave any ridges exposed to potential catching by a person or object.
