HDPE Root Barrier Panels in Arlington, Texas
We install virgin HDPE in Arlington. Joints are locked. North Texas sun is hard on thin recycled sheet.
Arlington’s trees are not all HOA live oaks. Fielder and south Arlington still have pecans on original laterals and city sidewalks that were never isolated. Viridian is the twelve-year parkway story. Lake lots add cypress and a water table that keeps surface roots active in August.
I-20 is the south run. We stock 24- and 36-inch HDPE because almost every HOA walk is that depth class; original ranches often want the deeper lateral panel.
Depths: 24 inch for many HOA parkways, 30–36 for walks with a serious plate, deeper for foundation and lateral work. Thickness goes up on commercial islands.
Joints are where cheap jobs fail. Roots thread a gap the width of a credit card. We lap or lock every joint.
Bamboo gets a lip above grade. Sidewalk jobs sit slightly below mower height so the HOA does not call it a trip.
Why this is a Arlington install, not a copy of another suburb
Arlington mixes original Mid-Cities ranches, apartment loops, and commercial pads along 183 and the Tollway. ADA walks out of tolerance are a commercial ticket. Ranch streets are pecan laterals and cedar-elm heave.
Soil. Blackland Prairie clay through most of the city; wetter lots toward Lake Arlington
Trees. pecan, live oak, cedar elm, hackberry, bald cypress on lake lots
Houses. 1960s–80s brick ranches, south Arlington two-stories, Viridian new-build walks Typical damage: original city walks, pecan aprons, lake-lot cypress, HOA notices in Viridian
We restore the parkway or yard when the trench is closed. If Arlington has city sidewalk rules or an HOA spec, we follow it. 811 locates run before every cut.
