Kenfield - Restricting Troublesome Roots!

We avoid potential root growth issues by using a root barrier
Root Barrier installed to deflect tree roots away from the drive

With our job in Kenfield underway and a driveway required alongside some established trees we were very conscious that root growth could cause issues for the new driveway.

For this reason, it is our practice to install a 'root barrier' between the tree roots and the area planned for the drive.

The barrier is a minimum of one metre deep and acts to re-direct tree root growth downwards rather than outwards where it could, in future, cause problems.
