Rootmasters

Rootmasters has operated since 1995 and is a specialist installer of tree root barriers providing services to many Sydney metropolitan councils and other industries. 

Tree roots can directly and indirectly cause significant damage to infrastructure such as buildings, smooth constructed surfaces (driveways, tennis courts etc) and utilities. These problems can be prevented or solved whilst still enjoying the great benefits of the presence of the tree. Life is hot and unpleasant without trees. 

Only the best product is used in our tree root barriers. All excavation is done with nondestructive hydro vacuum methods to prevent damage to underground utilities. Works are done quickly and sites are left fully reinstated. 

Equipment

Root Exposure

Tree roots are attracted to utility services causing damage, penetrating and sometimes encompassing them.
