JAPANESE KNOTWEED
Protecting foundations
DENDRO-SCOTT ™
ROOT BARRIER
Peter Scott (F.Arbor.A. M.E.W.I.,
now semi-retired) first created this
flexible root barrier membrane
over three decades ago, to protect
structures and underground services
against damage from tree roots and it
has been used for this purpose since
1988. It was the earliest established
and, therefore, proven, root barrier
membrane of its type.

Its inception was borne of Peter’s
concern that too many trees were
being felled, rather than preserved
as they should be. His motto has
always been ‘Caring for the present
is preserving the future’ and we
continue to share this ethos.
Since the early years of root barriers,
the extent of the problems caused
by Japanese Knotweed have become
ever more apparent. In the past, even
the most ‘seasoned’ of developers
dreaded the thought of finding
Japanese Knotweed on their sites,
as it signalled extensive delays,
expensive removal techniques and,
in some cases, a complete change to
the intended plans for the sites.
