ReRoot 600 and ReRoot 1000 products are ribbed root barriers designed for the protection of paved surfaces, shallow service ducts and utilities. The numbers 600 and 1000 denote the depth of the product in millimeters.
This versatile root management system can be used to surround individual or groups of trees because the ribs are proven to divert lateral root growth downwards. They are also used as an interlock when joining roll ends. Many local authorities now state in their planning policy that trees planted within 3m of a paved/hard surface that will be adopted by the council must be lined with a root barrier. This protects the pavement in the long term and the trees’ root systems in the event of pavement excavation.
