Landscape fabric, weed barrier, gopher control wire, and the staples and accessories to install them. Stabilize a base, block weeds, protect against burrowing pests, and keep drainage flowing under rock, pavers, and synthetic lawn.
From under rock beds to gopher protection and drainage, see where weed barrier, filter fabric, and wire earn their place in a project.
Lay woven weed barrier under decomposed granite, gravel, and landscape rock so the stone stays on top and the weeds stay out. The fabric keeps your base separated from the soil below so the surface does not sink or mix over time. It is the single best step for a rock bed that still looks clean years later.
Line the bottom of raised beds, lawns, and new plantings with galvanized gopher wire to stop burrowing pests from coming up through the roots. The wire mesh lets roots and water pass while keeping gophers and moles out of the bed. Install it once during the build and it protects the planting for years.
A layer of woven fabric between the subsoil and your road base keeps the two from mixing under a paver patio, walkway, or driveway. That separation holds the base tight so the surface stays level and firm under load. Use it on any hardscape where you want the base to last.
Wrap a French drain or perforated pipe in filter fabric so water flows in but soil and silt stay out. The fabric keeps the drain rock from clogging so the line keeps moving water for the long haul. It is the difference between a drain that works for a season and one that works for decades.
Roll weed fabric across a planting bed, then cut neat holes for each plant before topping with mulch or bark. The barrier keeps weeds down between plants while still letting water and air reach the roots. You spend far less time pulling weeds and the bed stays tidy through the season.
Pin every roll of fabric or wire down with galvanized soil staples so wind, foot traffic, and settling do not lift it. Drive a staple every few feet along the seams and edges to keep the layer flat and in place. A well-pinned install stays put while you spread rock or backfill on top.
Round out your build with the base rock, mulch, decorative rock, and soils that sit above and below your fabric and wire.
Road base and drain rock that go on top of your fabric. Pair them with weed barrier and filter fabric for a base that stays separated, holds firm, and drains well.
The top dressing that goes over fabric in planting beds. Cut neat holes for plants, then mulch on top for a clean, low-weed bed that holds moisture.
The decorative rock that sits on top of weed barrier. Fabric underneath keeps the stone clean and weed-free so the rock bed looks finished for years.
Soils and amendments for the raised beds and plantings you protect with gopher wire. Build the bed, line it with wire, then fill with quality soil.
Pick the right fabric or wire for the job, learn placement and pinning tips, and find the product that keeps your project clean for years.
