Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this fabric be used under gravel?

Yes, it acts as an excellent separating membrane to prevent gravel from sinking into the soil.

Is this fabric UV stabilized?

The material is designed for outdoor use and is crafted to withstand environmental exposure, though covering it with mulch can significantly extend its lifespan.

How do I cut the fabric to fit around existing plants?

Use sharp utility shears to cut an 'X' shape in the fabric where the plant is located and fold the flaps back to fit around the stem.

Will this fabric kill existing weeds?

It is best to remove weeds before installation; the fabric primarily prevents new seeds from germinating by blocking sunlight.

Can I use this in a vegetable garden?

Yes, it is permeable and safe for use around plants, provided it is installed in a way that allows you to access the soil for planting.

Troubleshooting

Weeds growing through or on top of the fabric

Ensure overlaps are sufficient and check that the surface is clear of accumulated soil or mulch which can create a medium for surface weeds.

Fabric lifting or flapping in the wind

Increase the density of landscape staples and ensure they are driven fully flush with the ground.

Water pooling on the surface

Check if the fabric is clogged with debris or if the underlying soil is compacted, preventing drainage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent durability against tearing
  • Permeable material maintains soil health
  • Gridded lines assist in precise plant placement
  • Reduces the need for chemical weed control
  • Multipurpose utility for landscaping and garden beds

Cons

  • Requires proper installation and heavy-duty staples to stay in place
  • Can be difficult to cut without sharp shears
  • Fixed width may require overlapping for wider project areas

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, start by clearing the area of existing weeds and debris, ensuring the ground is level. Roll out the fabric and cut it to size using heavy-duty shears. Overlap the edges by at least 10 centimeters if covering a large area to prevent weeds from finding gaps. Secure the perimeter and any overlaps using landscape staples or anchor pins spaced every 30 to 50 centimeters. While the material is designed to be low-maintenance, periodically clear organic surface debris—such as fallen leaves or excessive mulch—to prevent weed seeds from taking root on top of the fabric.
