Installation tips
- Remove existing weeds and roots, then rake the area smooth.
- Roll out the fabric and use the 12" planting lines to line up rows.
- Overlap seams 6–12 inches so weeds can’t sneak through.
- Pin edges and seams every 3–5 feet.
- Cut an X where each plant goes, then cover with mulch or rock.
Don’t forget the pins. Hold your fabric in place with our 6" galvanized circle top landscape pins or 11 gauge galvanized landscape staples.
FAQ
How much do I need?
Multiply width x length for square feet and add a little for overlaps. Choosing a wider roll means fewer seams.
Will water still drain?
Yes – it’s permeable, so water and air reach the soil.
Should I cover it?
Covering with mulch or rock looks better and protects the fabric from sun, so it lasts longer.
Can I order a sample?
Yes – choose the 1' x 1' sample option.
