TechSmith Century Root Barrier

Slope Guard

The Century Slope Guard is manufactured from a polyethylene/polypropylene copolymer material and is designed for planting son steep slopes. Landscape professionals installing new planting on steep slopes have traditionally been confronted with special problems. Trees are planted with care and attention to aeration, soil compaction, and fertilization. Unfortunately, the water so vital for new plantings, also has the bad habit of washing the soft soil and fertilizer at the base of the tree away, as well as eroding the bank above into the new planting area. Slope guard was designed to tough industry requirements, to be a cost effective tool you can rely on to continue protecting your new plantings after you leave the job site. The installed barrier provides your new planting a trim and professional border, which is as good looking as it is functional.
