AgTec's 3.2oz premium grade A ground cover and landscape fabric effectively inhibits weed growth without the need for chemical herbicides. The woven fibers allow water to pass through, retaining soil moisture while creating a robust barrier that blocks the light necessary for weed growth. This professional grade A weed fabric is designed to withstand sun exposure deterioration, thanks to its UV-stabilization. The black fabric color captures sunlight, warming the soil underneath, and offers a denser weave compared to other 3 oz grade B ground covers, ensuring enhanced weed prevention.
This ground cover is perfect for row crops as it suppresses weeds, aids in soil moisture retention, regulates soil temperature, reduces soil erosion, and minimizes pests by keeping weeds at bay that attract pests. Using landscape fabric ultimately improves the overall health and productivity of your crops and saves you time and money.
Also ideal for long-term use, woven landscape fabric is well-suited for areas around shrubs and trees, where it can remain undisturbed for years, offering maintenance-free weed prevention.
As an underlayment:
This 3.2oz geotextile is also excellent as an underlayment for various landscape and hardscape installations, such as beneath geocells, pavers, patios, raised beds and all manner of construction projects.
This woven geotextile offers several benefits when used as an underlayment, including:
- Separation: Woven geotextiles act as a separator between different layers of materials, such as soil and gravel, preventing them from mixing and maintaining the integrity of each layer. This separation helps to extend the lifespan of structures, such as roads, driveways, and retaining walls, by minimizing the loss of aggregate and reducing the need for maintenance.
- Stabilization: When used as an underlayment, woven geotextiles provide stabilization to the soil, enhancing the load-bearing capacity of the ground. They help distribute the weight of traffic and prevent the surface layer from sinking into the subgrade soil, reducing the risk of rutting, potholes, and other forms of structural deformation.
- Filtration: Woven geotextiles serve as a filter that allows water to pass through while retaining soil particles. This prevents soil erosion, sedimentation, and clogging in drainage systems, maintaining their efficiency over time.
- Reinforcement: The high tensile strength of woven geotextiles helps reinforce soil and other materials, particularly in applications such as retaining walls, slopes, and embankments. They provide added support to resist the lateral pressure exerted by soil or other materials, enhancing the overall stability of the structure.
How to install:
To use our ground cover as a row cover simply follow these steps:
- Prepare the soil by removing weeds, debris, and rocks, then level and smooth the surface.
- Lay the landscape fabric over the soil between the rows of crops, ensuring that it is taut and smooth. Overlap the edges of the fabric by a few inches to prevent weeds from growing through the gaps.
- Secure the fabric using landscape staples or fabric pins at regular intervals along the edges and seams to keep it in place.
- Cut small slits or holes in the fabric for planting, transplanting, or irrigation as needed.
The AgTec 3.2oz professional-grade weed fabric is a versatile and durable option for a variety of landscaping and gardening applications, offering you years of dependable performance.
