How do I lay weed control fabric?

Lay Weed Control Fabric – Our Weed Control Fabric can be installed any way up. It can even be used vertically to stop weeds travelling horizontally through soil.

The unique structure of the fabric allows water, nutrients and air to pass through to the soil but effectively suppresses weeds.  The pore size of the fabric allows a controlled flow of water to pass through reducing pooling or drying out.

Our Weed Control Fabric is ideal for use in soft or hard landscaping providing a chemical-free weed control system. Laying it is pretty easy. Straight paths or runs are easier and it makes sense to make a level, raked, stone-free base for the fabric. It will help prevent tears and cuts although the fabric is quite resilient. Having recently re-laid a garden path I used the fabric under the same stones once they had been cleared of weeds. As luck would have it my path was curved but smaller pieces, overlapping worked a treat.

But, take your time. If you have room to clear everything from the site before laying the fabric so much the better, if not I press-ganged a couple of wheelbarrows into service and filled them to the brim before laying new fabric and replacing the stones /gravel.
