Featured in leading industry publications
Leading publications in landscaping, gardening and hardscape
Five green industry trade titles have covered DOTDAY since the US launch, including a bylined print feature.
Turf Magazine invited DOTDAY founder Rakshit Manga to write the June 2026 Landscape Trends column. The piece argues that fabric should be specified by ground condition and permeability, not by weight alone, and walks through woven construction, dual-layer systems and weight selection for real sites.
It covers drainage, gas exchange and nutrient flow as the three soil functions a ground cover has to protect, plus the installation pitfalls behind most fabric failures: wrong overlap, over-specifying weight, weak anchoring and cutting without guides.
Verified links to the original publications. No paraphrased summaries, no reprints.
