Another side benefit with black landscape fabric is that it helps prevent weeds from growing by blocking out the sunlight weeds need to grow.

Heavy Duty - Our Fabric Lifespan is 50+ Years

Engineered to last 50+ Years! As long as the fabric is buried with at least 3 inches of gravel, mulch, or under roads, and away from UV sun exposure, this woven landscape fabric can last 50+ years. However, if the fabric is exposed to the Sun, the lifespan drops as low as one year.

Description

Heat Sealed Edges

A common problem with landscape fabric is that the edges fray. The edges of Sandbaggy 17.5 foot wide landscape fabric are heat sealed to prevent the fabric from fraying.

Landscape Fabric Installation

Tips for installing 17.5' wide landscape fabric

1. Depending on how hard your soil is, separate each 6-inch sod staple between 2-4 ft. For very soft soil, separate each staple by 2 ft. For very hard soil, separate each staple by 4 ft.
2. For very soft soil, we recommend longer sod staples, such as 9-inch sod staples.
3. For very hard soil, we recommend thicker sod staples, such as 6" x 2" x 6" 9-gauge staples. 

Tools required for landscape staples installation:

• Rubber Mallet
• Gloves

Comparison with Competition

• UV Protection: added to fabric
• Made from 100% virgin resin: provides additional strength compared with recycled resin
• Laboratory tested: to meet ASTM tests
• Pre-shipment inspection: fabric inspected for irregularities and breakages before shipment

Results on ASTM Test

Every batch of fabric is lab tested to ensure consistency and quality throughout the fabric roll.

Test results

• UV Protection: ASTM D4355 - at least 80% strength after 500 hours
• Tensile Strength: ASTDM D4632 - 200 lbs
• Meets Class 1 requirements for Woven Geotextiles

Tough Woven Polypropylene

Our woven polypropylene landscape fabrics are extremely strong with a tensile strength of 200 lbs! This makes them ideal for placing under rocks or gravel. Because this fabric is woven, it makes it extremely difficult for weeds to grow through the fabric.

Woven landscape fabrics are ideal for applications such as weed control, soil separation, and soil stabilization. They are not permeable, so if you need something for filtration or drainage we recommend using non woven landscape fabric.

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

Is geotextile fabric the same as landscape fabric?

Typically yes. Geotextile simply means strong synthetic fabric which landscape fabrics are. However, some projects require special geotextile fabric with unique specifications such as a specific tensile strength. If you are not sure, simply email us and we can help.

Can you put landscape fabric over existing weeds or on top of weeds?

Yes, you can place landscape fabric over existing weeds or on top of weeds
