Rootex barrier is normally laid vertically in a trench and can be used in many ways to prevent movement of roots sideways. Unlike other barriers, Rootex allows passing of water and nutrients.
It comes in several widths from 30cm (12 inches), 45cm (18 inches), 90cm (3 feet) and 1.8m (6 feet). It is sold by the linear metre.

In most cases the roots that are wanting to be controlled are up to 45cm deep (18 inches), therefore the 30cm or 45cm width product is adequate. If you are not sure of the depth required then dig a test pit to see how far the roots go down. Remember that many trees have tap roots and these go down almost vertically and it is not normally necessary to control these roots.

The wider rolls are designed to be laid down horizontally in areas where it is not suitable to place product vertically as it would make the plant too unstable such as if a tree was too near a drive. The fabric would then be laid down to prevent roots from coming up and disturbing the area.
