While not strictly necessary for function, covering the fabric with mulch, gravel, or soil is highly recommended for aesthetic purposes and to protect the fabric from UV degradation over time.
Ensure the fabric is fully covering the soil and that no gaps exist. Check if weeds are growing from seeds that have landed on top of the fabric or mulch layer, or if the fabric has been damaged. Secure edges properly and cover with an adequate layer of mulch or gravel.
While permeable, excessively compacted soil underneath or a very thick, non-porous top layer (like plastic sheeting) could impede drainage. Ensure the soil beneath is not overly compacted and that the fabric is laid flat.
Increase the number of garden staples used, especially around the edges and in windy areas. Ensure the fabric is properly secured by burying the edges slightly or using heavier covering materials like gravel or stone.
