What are Root Barriers?
Root barriers are underground systems designed to redirect tree roots away from structures and sensitive areas. In San Diego’s varied terrain—from coastal clay to inland granite—root barriers help prevent:
• Cracked sidewalks and driveways
• Foundation damage
• Intrusion into plumbing and irrigation systems
• Conflicts between tree growth and hardscape safety
Proper root barrier installation ensures long-term protection without compromising tree vitality.
