View TERRAWeight guide
Every DOTDAY weight on one scale
Heavier is not automatically better. Each fabric is built for the ground it goes under, and the weight follows from that job.
Weights are ounces per square yard, measured to ASTM D5261. Pick by ground condition first, then confirm the weight.
Built for every ground condition
Match the fabric to the ground, not the price tag.
The wrong weight fails months later as weed pressure, shifting gravel, or drainage problems. Here is the right call for each job.
Gravel & Hardscape
Stronger gravel installs
Stabilize gravel and stop sinking, shifting, and weed growth under driveways, paths, and high-traffic hardscape.
Use XBAR 5ozView Fabric
Garden Beds & Farms
Cleaner garden beds
Control weeds while water, air, and nutrients reach the soil. Built for beds, raised planters, farm rows, and nurseries.
Use SHIELD 3.2ozView Fabric
Drainage & Filtration
Better water management
Improve drainage and limit soil erosion with high-permeability geotextile for French drains, retaining walls, and wet ground.
Use TERRA 4 / 6 / 8ozView Fabric

How it works
Four steps to an install that holds.
Pick SHIELD 3.2 oz woven for beds and rows, XBAR 5 oz dual-layer for gravel and pavers, or TERRA 4, 6, or 8 oz non-woven for drainage. Then every job follows the same four steps.
Roll it out flat
Clear and level the ground, then unroll with the printed guide lines running straight.
Overlap every seam
Lap each run 6 inches over the last so soil and weeds have no gap to find.
Cover it
Spread gravel, stone, or mulch over the top. The fabric keeps the base clean and stable.
Plant through it
In beds and rows, cut an X, set the plant, and let water and air reach the roots.
See it in action
Watch DOTDAY fabric on a real install.
From roll-out to the finished surface, see how the right fabric goes down fast and lays flat. The same build pros rely on for beds, hardscape, and drainage, doing its job on site.
- Cuts clean without fraying at the seams.
- Permeable build lets water and air reach the soil.
- UV-stabilized to hold up under mulch, gravel, and sun.
From the field
Trusted on real projects.
XBAR 5 oz“Used XBAR 5oz across my garden beds. Blocks weeds completely, easy to install, and holding up well after six months under mulch.”
“This stuff is seriously substantial. We’ve used a LOT of landscape fabric over the years, and I can already tell you this one feels different. We were actually floored at how high quality the product is.”
“Used this for a small gravel area in my yard. The fabric feels strong and was easy to lay down and cut. Everything arrived on time and as expected. By far one the best fabric I have used. The quality feels really good and held really well.”

Frequently asked questions
Which landscape fabric is best for my project?
Choose SHIELD 3.2oz for garden beds, farm rows, and under mulch. Use XBAR 5oz for gravel driveways, pathways, and high-traffic hardscape. Choose TERRA 4 to 8oz for French drains, retaining walls, and drainage.
Woven vs non-woven landscape fabric, which is better?
Woven fabric like SHIELD is best for weed suppression and ground cover. Non-woven geotextile like TERRA is engineered for drainage and filtration. XBAR uses a dual-layer build (woven top with a non-woven backing) for strength and separation under hardscape.
Can water and nutrients pass through DOTDAY fabric?
Yes. All DOTDAY fabrics are permeable, so water, air, and nutrients reach the soil below. SHIELD and XBAR allow moderate flow for beds and hardscape. TERRA offers high permeability designed for drainage and filtration.
How do I install landscape fabric properly?
Clear the site, unroll with 6-inch overlaps, secure the edges and seams so the fabric lies flat, and cover with mulch or gravel for UV protection. Every roll ships with a step-by-step install guide.
Will weeds grow through the fabric?
DOTDAY fabrics block weeds from below. Any surface weeds that appear grow in the mulch on top and pull out easily, since roots cannot penetrate the barrier.
Is DOTDAY fabric safe for vegetable gardens?
Yes. All DOTDAY fabrics are chemically inert and safe around edible plants, herbs, and food crops. They help retain soil moisture and reduce the need for herbicides.
