INSTALLING TREE ROOT BARRIERS - What are they and what is their purpose??? 

Glad the video could help you out 👍🏻

It is for sure a time consuming extra step! Always cool to learn and do new things though. Thanks Bryan! I’ve been missing making and watching RU-vid videos! Just been an insane busy summer lol. Hope your doing well and I’ll start catching up on your stuff too!

@@dirty.diggers similar to you, we are starting to slow down and get our heads above water

Ohhhh busy would be an understatement 😂😂😂 For sure have many videos banked up just a matter of compiling footage and getting it out lol. I had never heard of root barriers either but now it’s a new thing I’ve done 😆🤷‍♂️

Yeah that makes sense for sure! This is new to me and the first time I’ve installed them. It’s a newer thing in this region that the city is implementing now in new developments.

Thank you!

@@dirty.diggers you're welcome, sir

Haha thanks Dave! Keep chugging along! 🚂 🚂

Thanks James! Dude it has just been insane! Work always takes priority can’t pay bills otherwise lol I haven’t heard of structural soil. I know there is hydro seeding that is supposed to have some structure to it for use on slopes and etc. What is structural topsoil? And what’s the purpose?

@@dirty.diggers structural soil is basically topsoil mixed with 3/4 clear We installed 30 thousand sq ft of interlocking brick sidewalks with lindens planted roughly every 30 feet or so and we used the structural topsoil as a subsoil Supposed to give the tree roots a place to go as well as be a solid subsoil I’m not an engineer but the trees and walkways are doing great Has it been raining a lot down south too? Have a good one Andrew

@@gibsonlandscapeconstructio7984 oh that’s really interesting! For sure all kinds of innovative ways to do things which is good creating more work and a better product in the end. Dude it has been so rainy last few weeks. More on the way today and tomorrow 🙄

@@dirty.diggers I had my doubts but here we are 14 years later and still looks great except the city is destroying the brick by salting in the winter

We used a border that was 18” high and maybe 1/4” thick or so. Whatever the town requires

Hey Dale, The customer actually supplied them to us. This was the first time we had ever used them. I believe they come in 24”x24” or the size we used which was 24”x18” high.
