How Can I Stop Roots Encroaching Into Areas Where I Don't Want Them?

You can use our Terravault Root Protection units in order to ensure that roots don't encroach in certain areas such as under patios or too close to buildings. An individual module can be purchased easily and comes flat-packed. The modules are extremely easy to build taking just a couple of minutes.

The system can be configured however you desire using just a couple of modules to block off specific areas or by installing a number to modules that will make up a complete system retaining all roots within it.

If you are looking to protect some roots in your garden then one or two modules may be a perfect option. When purchased individually, the modules come with just the top blocked off to ensure that roots don't grow upwards, but you can easily block off sides or ends 

  • To block off the end of a module simply remove one of the five small open plates and add a closed small Ellipse plate to the end. 
  • To block off the side of a module simply remove one of the open Terravault plates and add a closed large Ellipse plate.
