Our Ficus Tree Root Barrier is constructed of thick plastic made of high density polyethylene (HDPE) and shipped in roll form. This 80 mil thick barrier is used to protect landscapes and hardscapes from local tree root damage. The barrier blocks tree roots from growing in that particular direction and the roots will divert into another direction. It is non-biodegradable and commercial grade and will not rot, mildew and is puncture resistant.

The Ficus Tree Root Barrier is available is multiple depths (ranging from 18" to 48"), and is resistant to rodent and insect damage. It is a waterproof and durable plastic that has a long lifespan (up to 100 years if not in direct sunlight). This product is made in America.

*The widest HDPE roll that we offer is currently 8’ (96 inches).

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

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.
