RootDirector - Pavement/ Hard Landscape Protection

Designed for the protection of pavements and hard landscaped areas, the ribbed RootDirector system prevents root girdling and diverts root growth downward and outward thus avoiding the unsightly and hazardous root damage so commonly seen in urban areas.

The RootDirector’s rigid, one-piece construction makes installation simple.

Designed to sit on top of soil cells and direct surface roots down into the cell areas protecting the build-up to FFL. It provides a base to build a concrete haunch against to support a grille at FFL, so depths and upper apertures need to be taken into account.

Can be used with or without a GBU RootDirector Riser.

Features and benefits:

• Modular preformed construction.
• Integral ribs to prevent root girdling.
• ‘RS’ range fits RootSpace soil cells.
• Stackable for ease of transport.
• HDPE is resistant to puncture, biodegradation, photodegradation, bacteria and most chemicals.
• Prevents root girdling – a fatal rooting pattern.
• Deeper root growth improves drought tolerance, tree stability and longevity.
• Guides roots away from areas vulnerable to de-icing salts.
• Prevents pavement root heave, effectively eliminating trip hazards.
• Fast installation - no cutting or joining tape.
