Linear pavement protection
The Reroot Barrier
Designed for the protection of pavements and hard landscape areas, the root director systems divert root growth downwards and ourwards avoiding the unsightly and hazardous root damage.
2120 is a versatile root barrier system for the protection of paved surrounds to either individual or groups of trees. Supplied in man-handleable sized rolls with integral root deflecting ribs, it works on the same principle as the 2110. It is easy to install with no specialist equipment required. Its flexible design allows the barrier to curve around obstacles but is rigid enough to hold its form during backfilling.
Reroot Barrier is sold by the metre.

Reroot barrier installation
- The ReRoot barrier should be installed when the tree pit has been fully excavated and before any backfilling has taken place.
- For a surround type barrier the base of the tree pit should be loosened to aid drainage. The barrier is then formed around the pit perimeter allowing as generous clearance as possible (minimum of 150mm) to ease backfilling and allow the roots to spread. Minimum dimensions shown should be observed. The barrier should then be cut to length with a sharp stanley type knife allowing a minimum overlap of 300mm.
- The join should then be taped using ReRoot polypropylene jointing tape. Both sides of the join must be taped and it is very important that the surfaces be clean and free of dust, dirt, grease etc. and that there are no gaps through which a root hair could penetrate.
- It is most important that the ribs face inwards towards the tree roots.
- The top edge of the barrier should be installed to protrude very slightly above the finished level, i.e. 5-10mm but not more than 20mm.
- Backfill carefully as you plant the tree, building up both sides of the barrier in layers.
- 20 -50mm gravel is recommended for backfilling outside the barrier because this will aid aeration.
