Landscape Fabric

Landscape fabric, also called weed barrier, weed control fabric, and garden fabric, is a way to keep out weeds while avoiding putting toxic chemicals in the earth. It’s created from fibers that are woven together with perforated holes to accommodate water - depending on the amount of ground you’re looking to cover, we sell it in rolls from 3 feet wide to 15 feet wide. 

Many of our customers find the best use of landscape fabric near shrubs and trees, because it has impressive longevity in those locations. We don’t recommend using it in vegetable gardens or annual flower beds, simply because landscaping fabric is meant to remain undisturbed and left in one place. As such, this product has a felt-like side that keeps the product from slipping when used on a sloped surface.

Weed control fabric will: 

• Keep debris from settling into your soil.

• Prevent weeds from sprouting if they’re located under the soil. 

• Allow you to limit your use of herbicides - this is great for gardeners who don’t like using chemicals on their plants. 

• Retain the moisture in your soil, allowing for improved growth. 

• Control a certain amount of erosion caused by heavy rainfall. 

Garden fabric is also ideal for greenhouses and outdoor displays. It can also be used as a weed barrier for plants that need a weed free environment that don’t have topical coverings of their own. 

At Farm Plastic Supply, our garden fabric is also UV stabilized so it’s guaranteed to last in direct sunlight.
