What is landscape fabric?

Landscape fabric is a permeable material used in gardening and landscaping to control weeds while allowing water, air, and nutrients to reach the soil. Typically made from woven or non-woven polypropylene, it serves as a barrier that prevents weed growth while still facilitating drainage. Gardeners and landscapers often use it under mulch, gravel, or soil in flower beds, pathways, and around trees to enhance the aesthetics and health of the garden. Its longevity and effectiveness make it a popular choice for both residential and commercial landscaping projects.
