Landscaping Fabrics
Our landscape fabric, constructed from polyester fibers, spunbond into a swirling, web pattern. This system of construction achieves superior fiber distribution which results in unique weed prevention capabilities, and accounts for its exceptional strength to weight ratio. The natural qualities of polyester provide exceptional ultra violet stability, and unequaled water and air permeability. Without question, this landscape fabric is the most effective weed control fabric on the market today.
Sizes Available:
3' x 50' 4' x 100' 4' x 300'
6' x 300' 9' x 300'
Applications:
• Landscape/Weed Control
• Patio/Sidewalk Underlying
• Soil separator when using aggregate
Benefits:
• Exceptional toughness and strength
• Exceptional UV resistance
• Conforms to contour of landscape easily
• Retards weed growth by providing a barrier between soil and mulch
• Allows water, air, herbicides, fertilizers and insecticides to flow into the soil, and its excellent permeability helps stop washout in heavy rains.
• Helps insulate root systems of plants from sudden temperature changes.
• Minimizes loss of mulch due to soil intrusion.
• Chemically inert; resists mildew, rotting and insects.
• Minimizes planting bed maintenance and helps maintain moisture in the soil.
We feel the selection of a landscape fabric should be based on three areas of consideration. They are as follows:
1. The fabric should be strong enough to withstand the most vigorous stresses of application, but no more. Any added strength is offset with a reduction in water and air flow, and an unnecessary increase in the price of the product.
2. The fabric should have an even, and consistent distribution of fibers, and a small enough opening size to keep weedy grasses from coming up through the fabric. Contrary to popular belief, weeds and grasses do not force their way through an obstacle, but rather grow to the light that comes through the smallest of openings or breaks that may exist. Weed seeds will also germinate in small accumulations of soil on top of a fabric, and send tiny root hairs through the smallest of openings to seek water and nutrients from the soil. This problem is largely avoided with the use of spunbonded fabrics, due to their almost microscopic opening size.
3. Finally the fabric must be porous enough to allow water and air to pass freely to the soil. We feel this is one of, if not the most important characteristic of a superior landscape fabric. If a fabric does not "breathe properly" plants do not get enough oxygen, and soils become sour and sterile. This was the case when plastic sheeting was being used as a weed preventative. Another disadvantage of pour permeability is the problem of runoff. When a fabric does not accept water freely it tends to wash off the fabric taking any mulch covering, rock or bark, with it. This is a common problem people have mistakenly blamed on the texture of the fabric surface.
