Sorbus provides root barrier installation. Discuss the tree and the affected paving, structure or service so the site can be assessed and the work scoped before installation.
A lifted path, affected surface or concern near a structure is a useful starting point for an enquiry. Include where the tree stands in relation to the affected area and whether the problem is recent or has developed over time.
Sorbus approach
Consider the tree and the site together.
The location of roots, nearby structures, access and the condition of the tree affect whether a barrier is appropriate. Discuss any proposed excavation or construction, as well as the current problem, before arranging work around the roots.
Sorbus approach
Send a brief that supports a useful quote.
Provide the suburb, photographs of the whole tree and affected area, and any plans showing structures or services. Explain whether the enquiry concerns an existing problem or a proposed project. The assessment, installation scope, access and cost are agreed for the site.
No. Suitability depends on the tree and site. Sorbus can discuss the problem and what assessment is needed before proposing installation.
Can I enquire about roots affecting paving?
Yes. Send photographs of the affected surface and the nearby tree, along with the location. Explain any previous repairs or planned work.
Can a barrier be considered for a development project?
Share the proposal and available plans so root-related concerns can be considered with the wider tree and construction requirements.
Before the site visit
Make the brief clear.
Send the location, the question you need answered, and any available photographs, plans or previous reports. Agree the purpose and deliverables before arranging work.
