Weed Control Fabric

Permeable fabric that blocks light to weeds while allowing air and water through.

1 min read

Weed control fabric is a material (here 105 g/m²) installed over clean soil to prevent grass from germinating due to lack of light, without creating a waterproof pool.

What it does and does not do

Reduces weeding and evaporation. Does not eliminate established rhizomes unless cleaned beforehand. It is not artificial grass or construction tarpaulin.

Formats

Widths of 1, 2, and 3 m; lengths from 5 to 100 m. Fewer joints mean less grass at the seams. It is covered with gravel or bark to last longer.

Rolls of 105 g/m² fabric tailored to your flowerbed. Choose the width that avoids a puzzle of overlaps.

FAQs

Does it allow water to pass through?

Yes, it is permeable. Permanent pooling is a soil issue, not a problem with properly installed fabric.

Is it recyclable?

Depends on the polymer. In domestic use, it lasts for years; do not remove it every season if it is in good condition.

Weeds on top of the gravel?

They can sprout from seeds in the dust. They can be removed by hand. It is not a total failure of the fabric.
