6-Step Guide To Install The Landscape Fabric
1. Prepare the Area
First of all, you have to clear the area where you plan to lay the landscape fabric. You have to remove any existing weeds, rocks or debris that could puncture the fabric. You have to level the ground as much as possible to ensure a smooth surface.
2. Measure & Cut the Fabric
Next, you have to measure the area to determine how much fabric you’ll need. Your landscape fabric comes in a 6 x 300 ft roll. Hence, you’ll get ample coverage for your garden.
You have to unroll the fabric & use a sharp utility knife to cut it to the desired size. You should leave a little extra fabric on the edges to allow for adjustments.
3. Lay the Fabric
In the next step, you have to lay the fabric over the prepared ground. You have to make sure that it’s smooth & wrinkle-free. If you need to cover a large area, you can overlap the edges of the fabric by at least 6 inches. This way you’ll be able to prevent weeds from growing through the gaps.
4. Secure the Fabric
Once the fabric is in place, you have to secure it with landscape staples or U-pins. Now, you will space the staples every 12 inches along the edges & in the middle of the fabric to keep it firmly anchored. You have to make sure the fabric is taut but not overly stretched
5. Add Mulch or Gravel
You can also add a layer of mulch or gravel on top of the fabric. This will help you to enhance the appearance of your garden & further suppress weeds. You’ll also be able to protect the fabric from UV rays.
6. Plant Through the Fabric
If you’re planting shrubs, flowers or vegetables, you have to simply cut an X-shaped slit in the fabric where you want to place each plant. You have to fold back the corners of the slit, dig a hole & plant as usual. After planting, you have to fold the fabric back into place. Then, you will secure it with staples.
