Protect your home’s foundation from tree root damage by having a tree root barrier professionally installed. There’s nothing more beautiful than a large oak tree in your yard, but when you stop to think that the roots underground are probably twice as large as the branches it becomes clear that they can cause severe damage to your home’s concrete slab foundation. We install root protection systems around homes in Katy, Fulshear, Pattison, and Hockley, Texas. Our ISA licensed Arborists will install an invisible barrier underground to protect your home’s slab, plumbing, and electrical lines from surrounding roots.

Root Barrier Questions Answered by Our Arborists
Installing a root barrier means your foundation is protected from root encroachment damage, preventing costly damage to your home’s foundation that can easily cost $10,000 to $30,000. Root protection systems can also prevent ground roots from encroaching hardscaping and damaging paver stone patios, walkways, sidewalks, driveways, slab foundations, and concrete. Some root control systems actually encourage root growth because they redirect it without cutting off the moisture supply. These semi-permeable barriers allow the roots to absorb the moisture and nutrients they need but prevent root encroachment. 
A root control system acts as a wall, protecting the foundation and other ground-level elements made of brick, concrete, and stone. A root protection system can also be installed around a pool to protect the gunite or shotcrete from expanding roots in search of moisture. If your pool, hardscaping, or driveway has already suffered damage from tree roots our ISA licensed Arborists can carefully prune the tree roots before installing the protective barrier while preserving the tree’s health.
The cost to install a root barrier system varies by the soil type and how many linear feet in length the partition should be but smaller systems start as low as $600. If you want a larger system to protect your home’s slab from large live oak roots or you also want it to protect your swimming pool the cost can easily triple or quadruple. 
Some of the telltale signs of a root encroachment problem jeopardizing your home’s slab foundation include buckled or cracked sidewalks, concrete pathways, or hairline fissures visible on the perimeter of your home’s foundation. Other indications include plumbing problems, cracks in your drywall or tile. If you notice any of these signs you should call a foundation repair company and request an inspection, then contact us to request a slab protection system around your home to protect it from surrounding roots.
