Landscape fabric AWTools AW67128 — garden weed-control geotextile, roll product

AWTools AW67128 landscape fabric is a polypropylene geotextile supplied as a roll for garden weed control and soil protection. The product is designed to be placed beneath mulch, gravel or paving to suppress weed growth while allowing water and air to pass through, helping to stabilise planting beds and reduce long‑term maintenance in domestic and light commercial landscaping.

Advantages

The fabric is made of durable polypropylene that resists rot and UV exposure, providing extended service life in outdoor conditions. It prevents weed growth mechanically without chemical treatments, helps maintain consistent soil moisture and temperature, and offers physical stabilisation for surface materials. Green alignment stripes printed on the fabric assist with planting and layout accuracy.

• Under mulch in flower beds and borders

• Vegetable patches and raised beds to reduce hand weeding
• Light commercial landscaping and garden maintenance projects

How to use

Cut the roll to the required dimensions, lay the fabric flat on a prepared, level surface, and overlap adjacent sheets where necessary to prevent weed ingress. Secure the fabric with appropriate pins or staples and place mulch, gravel or paving on top according to your landscaping plan. Ensure planting holes are cut only where required and the fabric edges are covered to avoid exposure to sunlight, which can reduce lifespan.

Usage recommendations

For best results, prepare the soil by removing existing weeds and debris before installation. Match the fabric thickness and roll width to the intended application and avoid prolonged exposure to direct UV when stored. When planting, cut minimal openings and replace covering material promptly to maintain moisture retention and prevent weed seeds from settling on the surface.
