Unique low impact root barrier installation

Peter Scott Tree Care has developed a low impact method of root barrier installation using a slot trenching machine, designed and built by Bob Freeborn, CSJK, specifically for use with the DENDRO-SCOTT™ Root Barrier system.

As shown in the videos below, installation of the root barrier membrane is carried out by digging a narrow trench of only 170mm wide, up to 4.3 metres deep. Where site and soil conditions allow its use, this method substantially reduces site impact and cost of site restoration.
