fabric installation

Before you install your fabric, clear out your area of any weeds, rocks and debree. After you remove these items, an option would be to spray the area with any type of weed repellent. Let it sit for a day or two before you begin to lay down your fabric.

We suggest you use our commercial high grade landscaping fabric. It allows water to flow thru the material, and it does not tear when the rock is applied. When you start to install your fabric, make sure allow enough coverage to overlap your seams 3-4 inches. You can use fabric pins to hold your seems down or you could use any spare nails you may have hanging around. If you are covering a sloped area. Start at the bottom of the hill, then work your way up.
