Default Palms around above ground pool

Trust me on this, damp sand, those palms smell that cool lined sand pit from further than an Ethiopian blow fly to a Tasmanian BBQ.

Regarding the root barrier, i forgot that when we put the pool up we laid thick black plastic on the ground first.
Then we put the sand down, then the liner on top.
Also the nearest palm will be 2.5m from pool edge.
Do you still think i will need the barrier?
