Root Barrier Protection for a Tennis Court – A Recently Completed Project by Let The Digger Do It
At Let The Digger Do It, we specialize in delivering top-tier excavation and earthmoving services for a wide range of projects. Recently, we were proud to complete a unique project involving root barrier protection for a tennis court, showcasing our team’s expertise in both precision and innovation.
The Problem
The tennis court, located in a well-established neighborhood, was surrounded by mature trees whose roots posed a serious threat to the structural integrity of the court. Over time, tree roots can cause significant damage by penetrating and lifting the surface of the court, creating cracks and an uneven playing surface. This can lead to unsafe conditions for players and costly repairs if not addressed early.
The Solution: Installing Root Barriers
To protect the court, the decision was made to install a root barrier system. Root barriers are essential for preventing tree roots from encroaching into areas where they can cause damage, like driveways, foundations, and in this case, sports courts.
Our team at Let The Digger Do It brought in specialized equipment to excavate around the perimeter of the tennis court, creating a trench deep enough to block the roots without disturbing the surrounding landscape. The selected root barrier material was durable, non-permeable, and designed to divert roots downward and away from the court surface.
Project Highlights
- Precision Excavation: Given the proximity of the trees and the court, our team had to work with extreme precision. The trench needed to be the right depth to block the root systems while maintaining the integrity of the surrounding landscape.
- Quality Materials: We used premium root barrier materials that ensure long-term protection. These materials are UV-resistant, durable, and engineered to withstand decades of pressure from growing roots.
- Minimal Disruption: While protecting the court was the main priority, we also made sure that the surrounding environment—especially the trees—remained healthy. Our installation process ensured minimal disruption to the trees themselves, allowing them to continue to thrive without impacting the tennis court.
- On-Time Completion: We pride ourselves on completing projects efficiently, and this one was no exception. The root barrier installation was completed on schedule, allowing the property owner to get back to enjoying their tennis court in good time.

Results
By the time we completed the project, the tennis court was fully protected from future root intrusion, providing a stable and even surface for many years to come. The property owner was thrilled with the result and relieved that they no longer had to worry about costly root damage affecting their court.
