DOTDAY neon heart mark

DOTDAY fabrics are engineered for one thing: the right fabric in the right ground condition. Use the tools below. Love Growing Green.

Start here

Install your fabric in three steps

DOTDAY fabric is built to go down fast with no special tools. Match the fabric to the ground first, clear and level the area, then follow these three steps. The full walkthrough with video is just below, and the written version lives in the Installation Guides.

Roll it out

Lay the fabric flat over cleared, leveled ground and overlap each run by about 6 inches so weeds cannot find the seam.

Cut to fit

Trim around edges, beds, and obstacles with scissors or a utility knife. SHIELD and XBAR have guide lines printed in to keep cuts straight.

Secure and cover

Pin every 12 to 18 inches with landscape staples, then cover with mulch, gravel, or soil right away so UV does not hit the fabric.

What to watch now

Roll it out and cover the ground

Lay the fabric flat over cleared, leveled ground and overlap each run so weeds cannot find the seam. The prep that makes a landscape fabric install last.

Reviews

Gravel path laid over XBAR dual-layer fabric
Marcus T. Verified

Put XBAR down under a gravel drive last fall and it has not budged. No rutting, no weeds pushing up, and I did not have to top up the stone this spring. This is the fabric I spec now.

Brooklyn H. Verified

Used SHIELD 3.2oz for the gravel path between my raised beds. Blocks weeds completely and water still soaks right through. Easy to cut to fit the walkway and it is holding up great after six months under the rock.

Trevor M. Verified

Ran TERRA in a French drain behind a retaining wall. Water moves, the soil stays separated from the gravel, and there is zero clogging so far. Exactly what a geotextile should do.

Gravel path laid over XBAR dual-layer fabric
Dana R. Verified

The dual layer makes a real difference under pavers. A light garden cloth would have pumped and torn by now. Installs clean, lays flat, and the base has stayed solid through a wet winter.

Priya S. Verified

The guide lines printed into the SHIELD fabric made cutting straight rows so easy. Clean job every time and the crew was through the whole field fast. Great value for a woven this strong.

Heavy duty and exactly as described. We used the 8oz under a driveway base and it took the load without a complaint. Shipping was quick out of Florida too.

Install and usage questions

Which side of the landscape fabric goes down?

For SHIELD, either side works. For XBAR, place the fuzzy side face down so the woven face takes the wear on top. For TERRA, orientation does not affect performance.

How do I install the fabric properly?

Clear and level the site, roll the fabric out with about 6 inches of overlap on each seam, secure with landscape staples every 12 to 18 inches, then cover immediately with mulch or gravel for UV protection. Step-by-step details are in the Installation Guides.

Will weeds grow through the fabric?

DOTDAY fabrics block weeds coming up from below. Any surface weeds that appear grow in the mulch or soil on top and pull out easily, because their roots cannot penetrate the barrier. Keep seams overlapped so there are no gaps.

Can water and nutrients pass through?

Yes. All DOTDAY fabrics are permeable so water, air, and nutrients pass through to the soil below. SHIELD and XBAR allow steady flow for beds and hardscape, and TERRA offers high flow built for drainage and filtration.

Is the fabric safe for vegetable gardens?

Yes. DOTDAY fabrics are chemically inert and safe to use around edible plants, including vegetables and herbs. They help retain moisture and reduce the need for herbicides.

How long does DOTDAY fabric last?

Service life depends on the fabric and how well it is covered. Keeping it covered with mulch, gravel, or soil shields it from UV and is the single biggest factor in how long it lasts. See the SHIELD, XBAR, or TERRA product page and technical data sheet for the details on your specific fabric.
