The QVS landscape fabric is a 50gsm black spun bonded polypropylene weed supressing fabric suitable for a range of uses within the garden environment. This lightweight but durable fabric is typically put to use in flower beds, borders and garden areas where heavy footfall or vehicle usage is not an issue. Unlike our 100gsm heavy duty woven fabric, to be effective this 50gsm landscape fabric must be covered with bark, gravel, stones, chippings, etc. The fabric works by reducing light penetration to the soil whilst allowing air and water to pass through. The fabric therefore creates a stable environment for your plants and crops to grow, meanwhile supressing and preventing weeds from surfacing. The fabric easily fits round existing plants by cutting ‘X’ shaped slits to fit over them. Pre-cutting the fabric also allows for new plants and crops to grow through making the fabric adaptable to an ever changing garden.
The fabric is UV stabilised to help resist damage by direct sunlight. Landscape fabric will help to build healthier and more productive gardens making gardening easier and more fluid. It is used by both professional and amateur gardeners due to its ease of use, long life, improvement in garden aesthetics and its benefits to plants. It is available in three widths; 1m, 1.5m and 2m and lengths of 50m and 100m. For best results when installing this fabric is to overlap each section by at least 20cm and secure the overlaps and all perimeter edges of the weed control fabric with either plastic anchor pegs, or, steel L-shaped metal pegs for hard or stony grounds, at 1m intervals. Please note that for areas such as paths and driveways we suggest utilising our heavier duty 100gsm woven weed control fabric due to its extra stability and durability.
