Description

Citygreen root directors are designed to protect pavements and hard landscaped areas. Root directors prevent root swirl and divert root growth downward and outward, thus avoiding the unsightly and hazardous root damage so commonly seen in urban areas.

Curb and sidewalk damage resulting from interaction with tree roots continues to be a common problem in cities throughout the world. A statewide tree assessment in New Jersey estimated that 25% of street trees were involved with sidewalk damage (Cardiac 1996). Sidewalk repair costs were cited as the highest tree care-related costs facing municipalities today (McPherson and Peper 1995). Many of these problems may be due to inadequately engineered sidewalks (Sydnor et al. 2000; Steve Sanford, pers. comm.). Until these design and construction problems are commonly managed, arborists will continue to use many techniques to manage the interaction of roots and concrete structures. Commercially available plastic root barriers frequently are a selected solution.

The new Citygreen root director C series carries the original benefits of the RD640 root director but now also includes an integrated circular lawn edge at the top surface for a neat finish to projects.

“Our experience, in working with a Citygreen Design Studio was second to none. We found responses from the design studio to be very timely, and technically thorough. We went backwards and forwards a number of times, looking at different iterations of the design and, nothing was too much trouble to examine and explore different possibilities. I would highly recommend the Citygreen Design Studio to any future client considering using your services.”
