This product is meant to be a permanent weed barrier.
50 Year Lifespan
Engineered to last 50+ yrs (*depends on site conditions) if buried properly with at least 3 inches of gravel or mulch. However, if the fabric is exposed to the Sun, the lifespan drops as low as 1 year.
Comparison with Competition

How this staples/fabric calculator works
Staples
Far more staples are required in soft soil than hard soil to properly anchor the landscape fabric in place.
To be precise, in soft soil, install one staple every 1 foot. In normal soil, install one staple every 3 feet. In hard soil, install one staple every 5 feet.
Landscape fabric
The calculator assumes that landscape fabric is being used to cover every square foot of the plot of land.
When rolling out landscape fabric, it's ideal to overlap the edges of the landscape fabric about 12%, so that weeds cannot grow in between the edges of the fabric.
Landscape fabric should not be stretched straight over a dip in the ground.
Rather, the fabric should be touching the ground at all times and should adjust to the contours of the land, such as bumps, dips, and hills.
This allows you to walk on the installed landscape fabric without worrying about damaging it.
FAQ
What is a heavy duty landscape fabric?
A heavy duty landscape fabric is a robust and durable material specifically designed for outdoor use to control weed growth, promote water conservation, and provide soil erosion protection. To determine if your landscape fabric is heavy duty consider factors like how long it will last, how thick the fabric is, and what materials it’s made from.
What is the best landscape fabric to use under rocks?
The best landscape fabric to use under rocks will have a high tear and/or puncture resistance. There are a variety of tests to determine the tear and puncture resistance of a landscape fabric, such as the ASTM Standards Tests. Usually, the thicker the landscape fabric the more heavy duty it will be.
How long does heavy duty landscape fabric last?
The lifespan of heavy duty landscape fabric varies depending on factors such as exposure to sunlight, temperature fluctuations, and overall usage. Generally, a high-quality heavy-duty fabric can last anywhere from 5 to 15 years or more. Regular maintenance and proper installation can contribute to extending its longevity.
Should I use landscape fabric under gravel?
Using landscape fabric under gravel can be beneficial, as it helps prevent weed growth and minimizes the mixing of gravel with the underlying soil.
What weight weed barrier is best?
The best weight for a weed barrier or landscape fabric depends on the specific application and the level of weed suppression required. For most heavy-duty applications, a fabric with a weight of around 3 to 4 ounces per square yard is suitable. However, it's important to consider factors like soil type, climate, and the intended use of the area when determining the ideal weight for your weed barrier.
