Details

Landscape fabric (also called weed barrier and weed barrier fabric) is a black mesh type of plastic that is used extensively in landscaping to keep weeds out of your garden. It’s manufactured as a solid sheet with perforated holes to allow water to soak through. We offer landscaping fabric in rolls of 4 feet height up to 12 feet height. Landscape fabric is intended to be covered with mulch and decorative stone.

Recommended Tips:

Do not skimp on fabric. Overlap the edges of the landscape fabric by at least 8 inches if you need to use multiple pieces of fabric, and allow a 2-inch overhang around the edges. You can tuck it under later when the rest of the fabric has been secured. Landscaped beds typically have a border, so you can tuck the excess fabric neatly along the inside of the border. Just push it down between the soil and the border with a putty knife to conceal it.

Basic Benefits:

We recommend the best place for landscape fabric is around shrubs and trees where it can be installed and topped with our quality mulch or decorative stone to help make it last for years. Because landscaping fabric is usually intended to be left in place, it’s not recommended for vegetable gardens or annual flower beds. Landscape fabric has many benefits including:

• Prevents weed seeds buried in the soil beneath from sprouting.

• Limits the need to use herbicides for weed control.

• Helps retain soil moisture by reducing evaporation.

• Offers some erosion control on slopes subject to washout from heavy rains.
