Landscape fabric AWTools AW67257 — weed control groundcover fabric, non-woven gardening membrane

AWTools AW67257 landscape fabric is a non-woven polyethylene gardening membrane designed to reduce weed growth while allowing water and air to pass through to plant roots. Intended for use under mulch, gravel or paving, this groundcover fabric stabilizes soil, protects planting areas from wind and dust, and can be used on terraces, balconies and fences as a protective cover. The material is UV resistant and includes mounting eyelets on top and bottom for secure fixing.

Advantages

The non-woven polyethylene construction provides durability and tear resistance while remaining permeable to water and air, supporting healthy root conditions. UV resistance extends outdoor service life in sun-exposed locations. Built-in mounting eyelets along the fabric edges simplify installation and help keep the membrane taut and fixed in place. The product can be combined with different surfacing materials such as mulch, gravel or paving to suit landscaping needs.

Suitable for

• Flower beds and ornamental borders
• Garden paths and walkways under gravel or paving
• Areas around shrubs and hedges
• Terraces, balconies and fence coverings
• Soil stabilization under decorative stones or bark

Key specifications

• Material: non-woven polyethylene
• Function: weed suppression with water and air permeability
• Durability: UV resistant for prolonged outdoor exposure
• Features: mounting eyelets on top and bottom for fixing
• Application areas: under mulch, gravel, paving, or as a protective cover

How to use

Prepare the ground by removing existing weeds and leveling the surface. Unroll the landscape fabric over the prepared area, overlap adjacent sheets to prevent gaps, and secure edges and overlaps with stakes or by using the built-in mounting eyelets. Cut openings as needed to plant through the membrane, then cover the fabric with the chosen surface material such as mulch, gravel or paving slabs to protect the fabric and improve appearance. Ensure the outer edges are firmly fixed to reduce movement.

Usage recommendations

For best results, overlap seams by at least 10–15 cm and use appropriate fixing pins or fasteners along the eyelet lines. Avoid prolonged direct exposure of the fabric surface when not covered, and choose a suitable covering depth (e.g., several centimeters of mulch or a layer of gravel) to protect the membrane and increase durability.
