Landscape fabric AWTools AW67246 — weed control ground cover, non-woven landscaping membrane

AWTools AW67246 is a non-woven landscape fabric made of durable polyethylene, designed to control weeds and stabilize soil in gardening and landscaping projects. The permeable membrane permits water and air flow while blocking sunlight to reduce weed germination. Intended for use under mulch, gravel or around plants, this ground cover also offers protection from wind and dust and is suitable for terraces, balconies and fence coverings.

Advantages

The fabric combines sturdy polyethylene construction with UV resistance to ensure long-term performance outdoors. Its non-woven structure allows moisture and air to pass through while impeding light, which limits weed growth without preventing irrigation. Mounting eyelets along the top and bottom edges simplify installation and anchoring. The material's resistance to environmental factors makes it suitable for repeated use in exposed locations.

Suitable for

• Flower beds and vegetable plots to reduce manual weeding
• Under gravel or mulch on paths and driveways to stabilize surface layers
• Around shrubs and perennials to create neat planting zones
• Covering terraces, balconies and fences for dust and wind protection

Key specifications

• Material: polyethylene non-woven fabric
• Permeability: allows water and air transmission while blocking sunlight
• UV resistance for outdoor durability
• Reinforced edges with mounting eyelets on top and bottom for fixing
• Intended applications: weed suppression, soil stabilization, surface protection

How to use

Prepare the area by removing existing weeds and levelling the soil surface. Unroll the landscape fabric and position it over the planting area, allowing overlap at seams to prevent weed intrusion. Cut openings where plants will be placed and secure the fabric using the provided eyelets with pegs, staples or ties at regular intervals along the edges. Cover the fabric with mulch, gravel or soil to protect the membrane from mechanical wear and to improve appearance. Inspect periodically and reposition or refasten where necessary.

Usage recommendations

For best results, ensure proper overlap (minimum 10–15 cm) at joints and cover the fabric with a protective layer of mulch or aggregate. Avoid burying the fabric too deep when planting larger shrubs; instead, cut X-shaped slits and fold material back to allow root placement then replace cover material. Regularly check UV-exposed edges and resecure eyelets to maintain stability.
