HDPE Root Barrier Panels in McKinney, Texas
We install virgin HDPE in McKinney. Joints are locked. North Texas sun is hard on thin recycled sheet.
McKinney is two centuries on one clay. Downtown pecans sit on original laterals. Stonebridge Ranch and Craig Ranch are the Collin County parkway story. Trinity Falls is still in the cheap window — isolate now, before the first ACC letter.
US-75 and 380 split the town. Historic lots need 811 and a camera conversation. HOA lots need sod match.
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 McKinney install, not a copy of another suburb
McKinney HOAs planted nursery oaks in strips that will never be wide enough. Summer irrigation keeps the top 18 inches wet, so roots stay shallow and lift sidewalks in year eight to twelve. Bamboo shows up on a few fence lines. A sidewalk panel and a bamboo perimeter are two different jobs; we will not sell you the first for the second.
Soil. Blackland Prairie clay; historic square lots differ from the new west-side HOA belts
Trees. pecan and cedar elm downtown, live oak and red oak in Stonebridge and Craig Ranch
Houses. 1890s–1920s square cottages plus 2000s Stonebridge and Craig Ranch two-stories Typical damage: downtown pecan laterals, Stonebridge parkway heave, Trinity Falls young oaks already in the walk
McKinney HOAs photograph grass. The trench is the easy part. We match sod, keep the panel below mower height on a sidewalk job, and write the scope so the architectural committee sees a finished parkway and a tree that stays.

What this quote will say
Depth to the plate we uncover in McKinney, linear feet, joint method, restoration for this city’s parkway or HOA, and a written stop if 811 or a camera changes the job. We do not copy a Plano number onto this page and call it a price.
