TechSmith Century Root Barrier

Root Barrier Rolls

The CR Series- Root Barrier Rolls are manufactured from a durable polyethylene or polystyrene material. These Root Barrier Rolls feature molded 90° root deflecting ribs with self-interlocking connection. As well as being a root impervious barrier, the CRSeries barrier rolls direct roots downward to prevent costly damage to surrounding hardscapes and landscape.

Linear Application:
For root pruning of existing trees or in planting situations where one or more trees are in close proximity to hardscapes.
Surround Application:
For new tree planting or when the hardscape encircles the planter
