Heavy-duty geotextile fabric offers extremely high tensile strength and excellent drainage. Water passes through the heavy-duty landscape fabric very easily without the loss of the underlying soil.

Secondly, you need to choose the fabric’s material. Most commonly, people opt for woven fabrics. These fabrics usually consist of linen fibers or polypropylene . They allow water and nutrients to travel through them, but the woven fabric prohibits most weed growth. These are ideal around trees or in gardens. Once your weed prevention membrane is set down, it’s time to finish things off and distribute your gravel carefully across the top. Always ensure an even coverage with a depth of at least 2-3cm. The gravel can simply be shovelled on to the membrane and then distributed with a garden rake.
