Root Barriers in Dallas TX — Stop Tree Roots From Damaging Your Foundation

Trees add value and beauty to a property, but their roots can cause serious foundation problems in the Dallas area. The Blackland Prairie clay soil that covers much of DFW is highly susceptible to moisture changes, and tree roots are very effective at extracting moisture from the soil. When a large tree is close to your home, its roots can dry out the soil beneath your foundation unevenly — causing one side to settle while the other stays stable. Root barriers are a practical solution that lets you keep your trees while protecting your foundation. Call 972-330-2652 for a free assessment.

When You Need Root Barriers

Root barriers are recommended when you have large trees within 20-30 feet of your foundation, when you've had foundation repairs attributed to soil moisture changes near a tree, or when you're planting new trees and want to protect your foundation proactively. Signs that tree roots may already be affecting your foundation include settlement that's worse on one side of the house than the other, or settlement that correlates with dry weather when trees are drawing more moisture from the soil.

Our Root Barrier Installation Process

We install root barriers by excavating a trench between the tree and the foundation, then inserting a rigid barrier panel that extends deep enough to redirect the roots downward rather than laterally toward your home. The barrier is designed to last for decades and requires no maintenance. The trench is backfilled and the area is restored when we're done. Most root barrier installations are completed in a single day.
