HDPE Root Barrier Panels in The Colony, Texas
We install virgin HDPE in The Colony. Joints are locked. North Texas sun is hard on thin recycled sheet.
The Colony is original 1970s walks, Austin Ranch new streets, and Stewart Peninsula lake lots. Three products. The original oaks are in the heave window. Austin Ranch is still young enough that barrier now is cheap.
121 and the Tollway. Peninsula lots need a panel that does not dam.
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 The Colony install, not a copy of another suburb
The Colony mixes old-town pecans on original laterals with newer HOA parkways. Lake-edge lots toward Lewisville Lake add moisture. We spec the trench to the street, not the city name.
Soil. Blackland clay with lake-terrace pockets toward Lewisville Lake
Trees. live oak, cedar elm, pecan, cypress on peninsula lots
Houses. 1970s original Colony, Austin Ranch new urban, peninsula lake houses Typical damage: original city walks, Austin Ranch parkways, lake-lot decks
We restore the parkway or yard when the trench is closed. If The Colony has city sidewalk rules or an HOA spec, we follow it. 811 locates run before every cut.

What this quote will say
Depth to the plate we uncover in The Colony, 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.
