Possible root infestation?

I am building two 4x6 raised beds.
The ground soil is very sandy and wonderful for draining so I want to amend it a bit as I break it up then add my planter soil on top.

I am concerned about that King Palm and those Giant Bird of Paradises to the right in the picture. My planters will be centered approximately in the lighter colored soil.

Anyone know if roots will invade the boxes eventually?
I'll call some local nurserys to find out about these plant's root structures but thought maybe someone here might know also.

I have heard of a "root barrier" cloth that is buried vertically a couple of feet.
