Landscape fabric, also known as weed barrier or garden fabric, is a material used in gardening and landscaping to control weed growth and manage soil conditions. Typically made from synthetic materials like polypropylene or natural fibres such as linen, it comes in rolls and is laid on garden beds, pathways, or under decorative elements. Its primary function is to act as a physical barrier, inhibiting weed emergence while allowing water and nutrients to penetrate the soil.
Constructed by weaving fibres together, this type allows water and air to pass through small holes, making it suitable for areas where both weed control and soil hydration are important. For high-quality woven weed mats, consider our Black Woven Poly Weed Mat.
Made from bonded materials, non-woven fabric is less permeable and is often used under rocks or gravel to prevent weed growth and stabilise soil. Our Filter Fabric Geotextile Non-Woven Drainage Membrane is an excellent choice for such applications.
This type features pre-cut holes, offering a balance between weed prevention and water permeability, ideal for gardens requiring regular watering.
While landscape fabric offers several benefits, it's essential to install it correctly and choose the appropriate type for your specific project. Over time, organic matter can accumulate on top of the fabric, allowing weeds to grow above it. Regular maintenance and the addition of mulch can enhance its effectiveness and longevity.
