Been there, done that. :-(

A proper subsoil barrier contains bamboo. ONE HUNDRED PERCENT.
Consider the Japanese whose classic architecture is a frail paper and
wood house; the landscape indoors in atriums and outdoors in tiny
gardens with one of the largest running invasive bamboos on earth.
It is just a form of gardening which is not really much done outside
of Asia, but it is certainly containable and has much else to
recommend it.
