Product Overview
A 1m x 15m sheet of 50gsm polypropylene landscape fabric, developed for effective weed suppression in small garden areas. The spun-bond, non-woven structure blocks sunlight at the soil surface to inhibit germination, while remaining permeable so rainwater, air, and nutrients reach plant roots.
Manufactured from 100% virgin polypropylene, the membrane is rot-proof, chemically inert, and resistant to soil organisms, offering reliable performance under bark, mulch, or decorative gravel. When covered after installation, it delivers durable, low-maintenance weed control without reliance on herbicides.
Designed for domestic landscaping and garden use, the fabric suits beds, borders, and light-use paths where clean presentation and reduced maintenance are priorities. For structural separation, stabilisation, or trafficked driveways, a heavier-grade geotextile should be specified within the sub-base build-up.
With a total coverage of 15m², the compact roll is easy to handle, cut, and shape around borders, planters, and narrow paths. Minimal fray edges support neat detailing at boundaries and around planting positions.
Features & Benefits
- Reliable weed suppression: Opaque layer prevents light reaching the soil to reduce weed germination and growth.
- Permeable structure: Allows water, air, and nutrients to pass through, maintaining healthy soil conditions.
- Durable construction: Spun-bond, non-woven 100% virgin polypropylene resists tearing and puncture during installation.
- Rot-proof and inert: Unaffected by soil microbes and common garden chemicals; will not support mould growth.
- Easy handling: Lightweight roll is simple to cut and position with minimal fray for tidy edges.
- Neat finishes: Performs effectively beneath bark, mulch, or gravel to maintain clean, low-maintenance surfaces.
- Chemical-free approach: Enables long-term weed management without herbicides.
- Nominal size: 1m x 15m roll providing 15m² coverage.
Applications
- Flower and shrub borders: Maintains tidy presentation and reduces routine weeding.
- Narrow garden paths: Provides a stable weed-suppressing layer beneath gravel or bark on light-use walkways.
- Raised beds and planters: Creates a clean base layer while allowing free drainage and aeration.
- Decorative gravel areas: Supports a neat finish by limiting fines migration and weed intrusion.
- Under decking and timber walkways: Deters weed growth in shaded voids; not a structural layer.
- Allotments and small plots: Helps manage inter-row weeds around vegetables and soft fruit.
Installation Guidance
- Site preparation: Remove existing vegetation and debris; grade and firm the surface before laying.
- Layout and overlaps: Roll out fabric flat with 100–150mm overlaps at joints; align lengths with the long run of the area to reduce seams.
- Fixing: Pin with landscape staples or ground pegs at 0.5–1.0m centres along edges and overlaps, closer in exposed areas.
- Cutting and plant positions: Use a sharp knife; for planting, cut a cross-slit, fold back to insert the plant, then refit closely around the stem.
- Edging: Tuck edges beneath edging strips or weigh down with aggregate to prevent uplift and light ingress.
- Cover depth: Apply a minimum 50mm cover of bark, mulch, soil, or gravel (75mm recommended for paths) to protect from UV and improve appearance.
- Aftercare: Inspect periodically for exposed edges or punctures; re-cover and re-pin as required to maintain performance.
Compliance & Performance
- Material: 100% virgin polypropylene, spun-bond non-woven, nominal mass 50gsm.
- Permeability: Designed to transmit water and air while providing an effective light barrier for weed suppression.
- UV stability: Must be fully covered after installation to prevent UV degradation and extend service life.
- Chemical and biological resistance: Inert, rot-proof, and resistant to common soil acids/alkalis; does not support mould.
- Load-bearing limitation: Not intended for structural separation, reinforcement, or under trafficked driveways; specify a heavier-grade geotextile (≈100gsm+) within the sub-base for such applications.
- Aggressive species: Not suitable as a barrier for rhizomatous invasive weeds (e.g., bamboo, couch grass, Japanese knotweed); use a specialist root barrier.
- Temperature & handling: Suitable for typical ground temperatures; keep away from ignition sources and sharp objects during installation.
- End of life: Polypropylene is recyclable where facilities exist; dispose responsibly if recycling is unavailable.
- Important note: Always cover with ≥50mm of mulch/aggregate/soil and maintain adequate overlaps and fixings; insufficient cover or incorrect use may reduce service life and performance.
