Tree Root Barrier Installation in
Houston, TX

Tree roots can be silently destructive, damaging sidewalks, concrete foundations, sewer lines, and even your home’s foundation. At Valued Foundation Repair, we specialize in tree root barrier installation in Houston, offering long-term solutions that protect your property, prevent damage, and promote healthy tree growth.
No matter where you're located in the Greater Houston Area, our family owned company delivers precise, effective root barrier services designed to prevent costly foundation repair and disruption to other structures.

About Our Root Barrier Services

Tree root barriers are underground physical barriers installed to redirect root growth away from vulnerable structures, like foundations, sewer lines, parking lots, and driveways. Over time, roots grow in search of moisture and nutrients, often disturbing soil and causing tree root damage to nearby structures.

Our root barrier installation process involves digging a trench between the trees and the area you want to protect, then installing root barriers, made of durable materials, that force the roots to grow in a different direction.

We take into account tree species, soil conditions, and property layout to design a root barrier system that balances both tree care services and foundation protection. Whether you’re managing tree trimming and growth control or preventing future root intrusion, we’re here to help.

1

On-Site Evaluation

We assess your property, including tree placement, proximity to foundations, and soil type. Our team will determine the most strategic location and depth for your barrier installation.

2

Trenching and Barrier Installation

We dig a trench between the tree and the structure being protected, then insert a high-durability root barrier system to redirect roots. These root barriers are installed vertically to effectively guide roots in a different direction without harming the tree.

3

Backfill and Tree Protection

After the barrier is in place, we carefully backfill the trench and ensure that the tree’s health isn’t compromised. Our goal is to maintain the balance between effective barrier installation and responsible tree care.

Ongoing Support & Monitoring

We offer guidance on tree trimming, watering, and maintenance after installation. Our team can help monitor growth and adjust as needed to keep your property safe long-term.

I could not be happier with this company. I had several companies come out to assess my home, and Valued Foundation Repair were the most thorough and honest out of them all. Every step of the project was communicated and pictures/videos were taken of the work being done. They even spotted a plumbing issue, and helped me with finding a plumbing professional to come fix the issue during the project's crunch time. I honestly cannot thank them enough for saving my home and our investment. I will definitely be spreading the word about these guys for anyone who needs foundation work done. A+++

FAQs About Tree Root Barrier Systems

Here are the top questions frequently asked by our customers in the greater Houston, TX area about tree root barrier systems. Need to ask something else? Give us a call and we’re happy to answer your questions.

Will a root barrier harm my tree?

No. Our systems are designed to redirect root growth without cutting off access to essential nutrients and moisture. The tree stays healthy while your foundation stays safe.

How deep are root barriers installed?

Most root barriers are installed 24–36 inches deep, but this depends on tree species and site conditions.

How soon should I install a root barrier?

The earlier, the better, especially if trees are planted close to structures, or you’re starting to see signs of root intrusion or tree root damage.

Can root barriers fix damage already done?

No, but they prevent tree roots from causing future damage. If foundation repair is needed, we can address that first, then install barriers to protect the new work.
