Pool & Hardscape Root Barrier in The Colony, Texas
Pool decks in The Colony crack toward the tree. We isolate the deck without opening the pool. Builder oaks six feet from the water should get a wall while the tree is still young.
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.
Builder oaks at 6 feet from the water are a Frisco and Prosper specialty. The tree is still young. Barrier now is cheap. Waiting until the coping moves is a deck job plus a barrier job.
Lake-lot cypress (Joe Pool, Grapevine Lake, Lewisville Lake, Ray Hubbard) need a detail that does not dam the lot. We step the panel and drain the tree side.
We are not a pool builder. If the deck is already a structural problem, you need that trade too.
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.
