This professional-grade landscape fabric is designed for gardeners and landscapers seeking a durable, low-maintenance solution to weed suppression. Its primary benefit is effectively blocking sunlight to prevent weed germination, significantly reducing manual weeding efforts and promoting a pristine outdoor space. A key consideration is that it requires a covering material for optimal longevity and performance.

When properly covered with mulch or other suitable material, this landscape fabric is guaranteed for 15 years.
While it will suppress weeds, it is not designed for long-term UV exposure and will degrade much faster if left uncovered. Covering is essential for longevity and optimal performance.
It is highly effective at stopping weed seeds from germinating by blocking sunlight. However, very aggressive perennial weeds with deep root systems might eventually push through if not managed.
Yes, you can cut crosses or holes in the fabric to plant flowers, vegetables, or shrubs. Ensure the edges of the cuts are neat.
The fabric has a weight of 70g per square metre, indicating a good balance of strength and permeability for its purpose.
Yes, the spunbond polypropylene material is designed to be permeable, allowing air, moisture, and nutrients to pass through to the soil and plant roots.
Overlap sections by at least 10-15 cm (4-6 inches) to prevent weeds from growing in the seam. You can secure the overlap with pegs if needed.
Ensure the fabric is fully covered with at least 2-3 inches of mulch or gravel. Check for any gaps or exposed areas. Existing weeds may have been deep-rooted and require removal before installation.
Use appropriate garden pegs or landscape staples to secure the edges and corners, especially in windy areas or on slopes. Ensure adequate overlap between sections.
Check that the fabric is not compacted or covered with a thick, water-impermeable layer. Ensure the soil beneath is not waterlogged. Allow time for water to permeate.
This can occur if the fabric has been exposed to prolonged UV light without adequate covering. Ensure it is consistently covered with mulch or gravel as recommended.
Setup:
Compatibility:
This fabric is compatible with most soil types and suitable for use with mulch, gravel, decorative stones, bark, sand, and under patios, decking, or pathways.
Care:
To maintain its effectiveness and lifespan, the fabric should remain covered with its protective layer. Periodically check that the covering material has not shifted significantly, exposing the fabric. Keep the area clean to prevent debris buildup.
