DOTDAY professional landscape fabric, featured in Turf Magazine
Turf Magazine covered the US launch of DOTDAY SHIELD (3.2oz woven polypropylene) and DOTDAY XBAR (5oz dual-layer woven), two professional landscape fabrics designed around one principle: match the fabric to the ground condition, and the job gets done right the first time. You can read the full Turf Magazine feature here. For DOTDAY, the recognition reflects what the brand has been built around from day one: fabric that solves real on-site problems, not weight specs on a shelf.
Why Turf Magazine coverage matters
Turf Magazine has served the green industry for over 25 years. It is a go-to resource for landscaping business owners, grounds maintenance professionals, irrigation specialists, and hardscape contractors across the country. When a product earns coverage there, it is because it is relevant to how professionals work, fabric that cuts cleanly without fraying, holds up under gravel and foot traffic, breathes so soil stays healthy, and installs fast enough to keep crews moving.
SHIELD 3.2oz for gardens, farms, and nurseries
SHIELD is built for weed control in planted environments: beds, nursery rows, farm planting rows, mulch applications, and pathways between plants. At 3.2oz it balances strength and permeability, heavy enough to suppress weed growth, light enough to let water, air, and nutrients reach the root zone. It is 100% woven virgin polypropylene with UV stabilization for long-term outdoor use, and the high-visibility 12-inch planting guides make layout and alignment faster for anyone running production rows.
XBAR 5oz for hardscape, gravel, and high traffic
XBAR is the heavy-duty option, designed for ground conditions that put fabric under real stress. Its dual-layer construction pairs a woven polypropylene top with a non-woven needle-punched backing, giving it the puncture and tear resistance needed for gravel driveways, paver bases, walkways, and stone borders where equipment or foot traffic is a daily factor. At 5oz it adds strength without sacrificing drainage, so water still passes through and soil still breathes, which matters in hardscape where standing water causes as many problems as weed growth.
Speccing SHIELD or XBAR across a job?
DOTDAY supplies growing operations and hardscape crews direct, with bulk pricing and roll configurations chosen for your sites.
Details that matter on the job
Both SHIELD and XBAR ship with practical details: high-visibility 12-inch layout guides for faster alignment, clear roll markings for quick SKU identification, multiple roll sizes, standard 3-inch cores for common roll-handling equipment, and step-by-step installation guides with every roll. If you are choosing between the two, the 3.2oz vs 5oz weed barrier comparison breaks down which weight to reach for. For hardscape specifics, the guide to installing landscape fabric under gravel covers the full process.
