Expert Root Protection (Root Re-Router)
Protect your home from root damage or any other undesirable outcome related to uncontrolled root growth. Why tear up your yard when you can reroute roots—safely, naturally, and sustainably!
Why wait until something breaks to repair it? Instead, consider a proactive approach to locate the roots and route them elsewhere; such to avoid costly repairs and prevent future damages.
Guaranteed Results (What We Offer)
Mycorrhizal Fungi Soil Enrichment Services enriched with Rhizophagus irregularis inoculant, injected directly into the lawn needing plant growth promotion, or root damage prevention.
What type of protection can Root Re-Router provide?
- Residential root protection: For homeowners
- Commercial root protection: For businesses (as needed)
- Landscape root barrier: When dealing with garden tree roots
- Underground pipe protection: Protect your existing investment
- Yard protection: Apply it to any area of your lawn for best-in-class results
How does Root Re-Router work?
We apply a living soil fungal inoculant containing Rhizophagus irregularis, a beneficial fungus that forms a natural bond with plant roots. This forms an underground network called mycorrhiza, which helps roots absorb more water and nutrients—especially in disturbed or compacted soil zones, like near homes or landscaping systems.
What can it be applied to?
* Foundation perimeters
* Lawns, gardens and turf areas
* Pre-Installed drainage systems
This fungus is very useful for overall soil health, and erosion control with many fungal ecosystem benefits. It is a very sustainable root-damage prevention service for lawns, foundations, and drainage systems.
What is Rhizophagus Irregularis?
Rhizophagus Irregularis isn’t just any fungus, it is one of the most studied mycorrhizal fungi.
This fungus forms symbiotic relationships with a variety of plant species, specifically by colonizing—and thus—merging with roots, establishing a vast network of hyphae that extends the root’s absorptive area.
Rhizophagus Irregularis fungus provides essential benefits for plant growth and health.
This fungus helps plants stay strong by protecting them from soil diseases. It also makes it easier for plants to handle tough conditions like drought or poor soil quality. As a result, plants grow healthier and produce better yields, while roots are prevented from growing past the network as a protective medium.
Mycorrhiza also releases a glue-like substance into the soil (Glomalin), which greatly improves a soil’s structure and water holding capacity.
In 2024, 8 of the top 10 pumpkins grown in the world used this type of Mycorrhizal Inoculant, Rhizophagus Irregularis.

Why you should use it for your home garden
Lawns
Prevents directional root growth, while helping lawns with drought resistance, and natural nutrient cycling to increase plant growth.
Foundation Perimeters
Prevents root damage that would otherwise persist along your home’s foundation
Drainage Systems
Reduce root interference with piping while enhancing surrounding soil structure
What is in our inoculant?
Rhizophagus irregularis spores and living hyphae. Optional bio-stimulants like molasses or kelp to activate microbial life simultaneously to the fungal inoculation. This inoculant is completely safe for pets, people, and pollinators!
Our Inoculation Method
Targeted Inoculation Process
The formulation is tailored to contain a high count of viable propagules/spores/hyphae, allowing precise application to areas like:
- Foundation perimeters & drainage pipes
(to reroute roots) - Turf and lawn (to help with plant growth)
- Agricultural soils (to restore health to diseased soil).
Foundation Perimeter Treatment
We inject a 3ft deep zone around the building’s edge with a concentrated liquid mycorrhizal inoculant to effectively disperse the spores and living hyphae via saturation of the soil.
This fungi will bond with surrounding roots to:
* Improve moisture retention near the slab
* Reduce cracking from soil instability
* Redirect root growth in soils
Why It Matters:
Soil near homes is often stripped, compacted, or over-drained—& fungi restore the natural root ecosystem.
This specific fungus readily prevents root damage by signaling tree roots to grow away from the expanding fungal network upon contact between the invasive roots and the living mycelial hyphae!
Lawn & Turf Broadcast Application
We apply a 3-6” diluted fungal solution using a spray system
A post-application watering ensures fungi spores and living hyphae move into the active root zones deep underneath the ground
Why It Matters:
Lawns often depend on fertilizers to compensate for weak root systems. Mycorrhiza replaces that need naturally over time.
Drainage System Protection Zones
We locate and mark drain lines, gravel trenches, or swales. The fungal solution is then applied as deep as the system goes, in zones surrounding the entire drain infrastructure. This encourages roots to grow outward—away from the pipework—and into soil only.
For best results, we saturate extremely—or trench beforehand—to ensure extreme soil absorption
Why It Matters:
Roots seek out moist, healthy zones. By enriching the soil surrounding the drainage system, we redirect root pressure away from sensitive lines via signaling between the living fungus and roots.
