Frequently Asked Questions

Start from the ground condition, not the spec sheet. SHIELD (3.2oz woven) is built for weed control under mulch, soil, and straw. XBAR (5oz dual-layer) is designed for gravel, pavers, and high traffic areas. TERRA (non-woven) handles drainage and filtration. The Fabric Finder quiz gets you to the right roll in under a minute.

Woven fabric is strong and dimensionally stable, made for weed suppression and ground cover. Non-woven fabric is needle-punched, so water passes through freely, which makes it the choice for drainage and filtration. Full comparison: Woven vs Non-Woven Landscape Fabric.

3.2oz SHIELD works best under mulch and soil in gardens, farms, and planting rows. Step up to 5oz XBAR when the fabric will sit under gravel, rock, or foot traffic. Full guide: Landscape Fabric Thickness Chart.

XBAR. Its woven top carries the load while the needle-punched backing resists punctures from angular stone. Full guide: Landscape Fabric for Driveways.

TERRA non-woven geotextile. It wraps the trench and lets water through while keeping soil out of the pipe and stone. Full guide: French Drain Fabric.

SHIELD 3.2oz woven is the standard for planting rows, container yards, and greenhouse floors. Full guides: Landscape Fabric for Farms and Landscape Fabric for Nurseries.

Measure the area, then add seam overlap and edge allowance. The Fabric Calculator does the math for you, including overlaps and roll sizes.

Clear vegetation, pull existing weeds, and rake the area smooth so no sharp debris sits under the fabric. A clean, level base is most of the job. Step by step: Installation Guide.

Overlap seams by at least 6 inches so weeds cannot push through the gap between rows. On slopes or under gravel, extra overlap is cheap insurance. See the Installation Guide.

Pin the perimeter and seams with landscape staples, working from one end so the fabric stays taut. The Installation Guide shows the pinning pattern.

Yes. Cut an X where each plant goes, fold the flaps under, and plant through the opening. This keeps coverage tight around the stem.

Cover it. Mulch, gravel, or rock protects the fabric from UV and holds it in place. Choose the fabric by what goes on top: SHIELD under mulch, XBAR under gravel and pavers.

Covered and installed correctly, a quality fabric lasts for years; UV exposure is what shortens its life. Full breakdown: What Landscape Fabric Lasts the Longest.
