Molded vertical ribs steer roots deeper into the soil profile rather than letting them travel sideways toward hardscapes, while the panels lock together for a continuous barrier you can shape around any layout — no special tools required.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"font-size:1rem; line-height:1.75; color:#3d4a3d; margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003e\n    These panels are ideal for applications where the barrier must be installed close to the tree, such as sidewalk cutouts and tight planting areas. The molded ridges on each panel direct tree roots downward and deeper into the soil rather than allowing them to spread out shallow near the surface. Beyond protecting nearby hardscapes, this is the real advantage of a ridged panel: by encouraging a deeper root system it reduces the risk of tree tip-over — a common problem when trees are planted in tight areas and develop shallow, unstable roots.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp style=\"font-size:1rem; line-height:1.75; color:#3d4a3d; margin:0;\"\u003e\n    Each panel measures 12\" x 24\" and ships in a pack of 25, giving you 50 linear feet of coverage per pack. Made by NDS for fast, dependable, long-term root control in residential and commercial landscapes.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NDS","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":54776746443124,"sku":"EP-1250","price":300.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1003\/6936\/7412\/files\/12a__37253.jpg?v=1781106433","url":"https:\/\/rhizomebarrier.com\/products\/nds-root-barrier-panels-12-x-24-ep-1250","provider":"Rhizome Barrier Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
