Ground cover and weed control fabric

Ground cover and weed control fabric are truly great products and should be used more often around the garden as they will save you time, money and effort.

Ground cover

Ground cover is 100% polypropylene, UV resistant, has a life expectancy of five years and is extremely tough. It is perfect for using under bark, woodchip or gravel when mulching under hedges, flower borders, woodland areas, creating footpaths, parking areas or under children’s play areas as it will almost eliminate all weed growth and help reduce muddy patches.

To ensure ground cover stays in position at all times we recommended that you use the plastic ground cover pegs available in packs of 10.

Weed control Fabric

Weed control fabric is much lighter and thinner than Ground cover but remains very strong, impenetrable to most weeds making it ideal for using with mulching materials such as Bark, woodchips and gravel on all borders and beds around the garden. It allows the soil to breath and water and feeds to reach the plants roots.

Before using ensure the area you are covering is free of all un-wanted weed growth, dig over area to loosen soil and apply any fertilisers at this time also. Roll out the weed control fabric and fix edges down with our plastic pegs or a covering of loose soil to stop it moving. If the flower bed already has plants in it make a cross shape slit in weed control fabric and carefully push down over plant, once in position remove un-wanted fabric from around plant ensuring it is not up against stem.

Once your Weed control fabric is in position spread bark or woodchips over the entire area to a minimum depth of 50mm-75mm.
