NDS Root Barrier Panels - 18" x 24" - EP-1850 - Pack of 25

NDS Root Barrier Panels — 18" x 24" (EP-1850) — Pack of 25

A modular panel system that redirects tree and shrub roots downward, protecting sidewalks, curbs, pavers, slabs, utilities, and planter edges. Interlocking panels form a continuous vertical, non-degradable barrier with molded ribs that steer roots deeper into the soil profile. Roots still grow strong — but down and away from pavements and foundations, helping prevent heave, trip hazards, and costly repairs.

• Brand: NDS
• Panel Size: 18" tall x 24" wide
• Pack Quantity: 25 panels
• Material: UV-treated, non-degradable polypropylene with reinforcing ribs

Ideal Applications

• Sidewalks & pavers — minimize lift, settling, and trip hazards
• Driveways & slabs — reduce cracking from shallow root pressure
• Planter / turf edges — keep beds crisp and grass from invading
• Utilities — deflect roots away from conduits, irrigation, and drain lines
• Urban trees — guide roots downward where soil volume is limited

Installation

1. Plan the run: mark utilities; determine barrier height and linear footage.
2. Excavate: open a narrow trench to the required depth; keep sidewalls plumb.
3. Assemble: interlock panels; add corners where the layout turns; anchor as specified.
4. Set & backfill: place panels with ribs toward the roots; backfill in lifts and compact lightly to avoid voids.
5. Finish grade: keep the top edge just below finish grade to maintain a clean, hidden line.

Performance depends on species vigor, soil conditions, and installation depth. Always follow manufacturer instructions and local guidelines.
