Versatile DeepRoot Water Barriers protect hardscapes and landscapes from subterranean water movement. When used around building foundations Water Barriers prevent root intrusion and maintain water equilibrium. The impermeable geomembrane is also ideal for golf course construction to separate the greens from invasive grass and clay soils.
FEATURES
  • Cuts at any measured length with utility knife
  • Up to 300 linear feet (91.44 m) without the need for a seam
  • Joins vertically or horizontally with sealant tape
  • Additional depths with vertical use or horizontal overlapping
  • Made in the USA

Caution: The DeepRoot Water Barrier will not turn tree roots downward for subsequent lateral growth, which firmly anchors the tree. If the water barrier is to be used near a tree a local arborist should be consulted.
