Landscaping Fabric
-
Weed Control: The primary use of landscaping fabric is to prevent weeds from growing by blocking sunlight. This helps reduce weed competition for nutrients, water, and space in garden beds or around plants.
-
Soil Erosion Prevention: In areas with slopes or loose soil, landscaping fabric can help stabilize the soil and prevent erosion caused by rain or wind.
-
Moisture Retention: Landscaping fabric allows water and air to reach the soil while keeping moisture in, helping to maintain soil hydration, which is beneficial for plant roots.
-
Improved Soil Health: By reducing weed growth, landscaping fabric also helps avoid the disruption of the soil's ecosystem, allowing beneficial organisms like earthworms to thrive.
-
Mulch Retention: When used under mulch, the fabric helps to keep mulch in place and prevents it from mixing into the soil, extending the life of the mulch and keeping it looking tidy.
