How to choose landscape fabric

Landscape fabric blocks weeds while letting water and air reach the soil - the foundation layer under mulch, gravel, and planting beds. Woven and spunbond fabrics suppress weeds in beds and paths, while heavier non-woven grades double as filter fabric in drainage and hardscape work.

Weight, measured in ounces, is the key spec: lighter 1.5 to 2 oz fabric suits homeowner beds, while 3 to 4 oz contractor grades resist puncture under stone and traffic. Our GCI rolls come in 3 ft and 4 ft widths and lengths to 100 ft - size the roll to your bed and overlap seams several inches.
