How to Install Landscape Fabric Weed Membrane

Installing heavy duty landscape fabric is straightforward and requires minimal preparation. For the best weed control results, follow these simple steps:

2. Lay the fabric: Roll out the landscape fabric over the prepared area, ensuring it lies flat against the ground.
3. Overlap the edges: Overlap adjoining sections by approximately 10-15cm to help prevent weeds growing between joins.
4. Secure the membrane: Use suitable ground pegs or landscape fabric staples to hold the material firmly in place.
5. Cut planting holes: For planting areas, cut X-shaped openings in the fabric where required.
6. Add a finishing layer: Cover with decorative bark, gravel or another suitable landscaping material for a tidy appearance and additional protection.

Landscape Fabric for Gravel, Bark and Garden Borders

Heavy duty landscape fabric is particularly useful beneath gravel paths and decorative stone areas, where it helps prevent weeds from establishing through the surface. Its durable woven structure also makes it suitable for use beneath bark mulch in flower borders and shrub beds.

When used around plants, the fabric helps conserve soil moisture and reduces competition from weeds. The 250mm grid lines provide a convenient guide for positioning plants, making it easier to create evenly spaced planting arrangements.
