The following statement is provided by Portland Parks and Recreation Urban Forestry:
The best protection for sidewalks is to plant the right tree in the right place. However, extra protection can be taken by installing root barriers at the time of planting. Root barriers guide roots downward and away from infrastructure and therefore may help prevent sidewalk damage and reduce sidewalk trip hazards. Root barriers are required by Portland Parks and Recreation Urban Forestry for all planting sites less than 4 feet wide, and are recommended for all other street tree planting sites. Root barriers are panels or rolls of rigid plastic either 12" or 18" high and a few millimeters thick. The rolls are cut, or panels lock together, to achieve desired length, which is 6' long.
We'd love to help you plant this tree, but first we need you to make sure
we are planting in your neighborhood and that the city allows this tree for
your home. Let's start by checking your address. Or if you're already
approved, logon here.
As a non-profit we rely on government support, foundation support, and individuals like you to plant your trees. Together we will make the urban forest greener for everyone.
The quantity of trees exceeds the number available. Please adjust quantities accordingly.

Characteristics: This broadleaf, deciduous tree has a prominent central stem and pyramidal form when young. The crown becomes more rounded and oval as the tree matures. A member of the red oak group, this tree can put on quite a show with orange to red fall foliage.
Like many deciduous oaks, the pin oak is marcessant, which means it holds on to most of its dead leaves through the winter until the new spring leaves push them off the branches.
Growing Conditions: Plant in full sun to part shade. Will thrive in rich, well-drained, acidic soils, and tolerates moist to wet soil. It is tolerant of air pollution. Does not tolerate alkaline soil.
Uses: Good shade and wildlife tree.
Height: 70' at maturity
Width: 40' at maturity
Shape: Pyramidal when young; becomes rounded and oval at maturity
Flowers: inconspicuous
Leaves: Glossy and dark green; russet, bronze to brilliant red fall color
Bark: Grey, furrowed, scaly, smooth
More Information: This tree is native to the midwest and eastern states and is found in lowlands, bottom lands, and flood plains, which is why it can handle wet soil. Keeping in mind that our summers provide little to no measurable precipitation, this would be an ideal tree to plant in a heavily irrigated lawn environment.
