Super Geotextile 4, 6, 8 oz Non Woven Fabric for Landscaping, French Drains, Underlayment, Erosion Control, Construction Projects - 8 oz (3x50)

WOW, 8 mm is a really nice thickness and has a felt feel. I had grass finding it's way through seams in our rock garden, 3 years old now. Moved the rocks, exposed large areas and cleaned it out then recovered with this material. Did a 6-8" overlap, it's so thick I'm sure it'll last for years. Awesome choice, It'll save tons of cost and work in the long run.

If you are looking for a strong yet supple, environmentally friendly barrier material that allows air and water filtration to use in your garden or other outdoor environment, this is it. I spent a lot of time looking for a material to meet my needs. My requirements were: 1) to use in an outdoor garden, 2) to prevent weed growth, 3) material that would hold up under stone, 4) allows water to flow through it quickly, 5) allows air movement, 6) would not degrade quickly, and 7) would not degrade and leave all sorts of stupid little plastic shreds in the soil over time. If you’ve experienced this, you know what I’m taking about. (IMHO, Petro chemicals should not be knowingly added to soil/garden space). I ended up going with the Heavy Duty Super Geotextile, non-woven 8 oz. weight, in the 3’ x 50’ length. I used this as a layer in a garden next to the house, on top of existing soil, and under stone (gravel) that was added. It is intended as a weed barrier. Bushes will be planted in front of this area, and in the future I do not want to have to climb back in this area over bushes, to do weeding. I could not be happier with this choice. First of all, as other reviewers have noted, the material is like a thick felt. It is supple so you can move and adjust it exactly as you need to lay it down just right. The material is also very strong. It’s not just going to rip or tear on you. You will need a sharp scissors to cut it. Garden staples will go through it easily, if they have pointed ends and you use a hammer. This is head and shoulders so much better quality than the cheap junk sold in hardware or big box stores, (which rips when you just look at it). Not even in the same league. Does this product cost more? Yes. Do you get what you pay for? Yes. Keep in mind how much your time, and wear and tear on your body, is worth. Your future self will thank you for saving time, not having to dig up junky weed block in a few years and re-do everything. Do it right and do it once. I’ve included pictures of the project, before, during, and completed.

My project with this was lining a French drain trench, 300+ feet, just along the ‘banks’ after the landscaping company neglected to put in any fabric. That was a really bad choice, because the clay just washes into the gravel then, and will clog up the drain ditch in no time. I couldn’t dig out all the gravel and line the whole thing, but it occurred to me that the worst erosion will be along the surface, so I bought this to line the edges. I cut strips of about 12-16 inches in width, and used some ingenuity and tools I had to try to tuck it in between the clay and the gravel. That was a LOT of work, but this fabric held up well. It’s thicker and more substantial, and drains far better, than regular landscape fabric. Geotextile fabric has a different purpose; it’s not something you put down under mulch. Consider it more of a soil retention fabric than a weed blocker; the aggressive Bermuda grass manages to poke through it, though the other weeds that plague my yard don’t seem to. So far I’ve used it to line my French drain as above, and seen how much it reduces the washing of clay into the effluent water; I used it under two retaining walls, and watched delightedly as the rain filtered through the clay soil and then the fabric, running clear as it went to the drain. If you have a project that needs geotextile fabric, this is excellent stuff. I used the 6 oz weight, because I wasn’t sure what I needed and it was right in the middle; it has definitely met expectations and even exceeded them. I bought more from this supplier when I realized how well it worked. Oh, and price wise? Compared to local landscape supply shops, the quality is better and the price is, too. If I need it again, I’ll buy it from this vendor.

Amazingly thick and durable. Nothing like it in the retail store. So reasonable for the quality and quantity.

The fabric itself is excellent — thick, durable, and perfect for French drains, soil separation and erosion control. However, I was disappointed that the 8’×100’ roll came folded up in a box rather than on a roll. I understand it can’t ship as a full 8-foot roll, but even folding it in half (to 4’) and rolling it would make a huge difference. Folding leaves creases that take a while to flatten out when you’re trying to lay it neatly. Quality product overall!

Absolutely perfect! Fantastic pricing arrived on time and got the job done. 240’ of perimeter drainage.

Just put it in so I dont know how well it will perform in the long term, but I suspect given the weight and quality I think it's gonna do quiet well for me.

My wife and I have used this product in our garden to help us reduce maintenance. In one location where we have raised bed boxes (see picture), we just laid out the Geofabric in between the boxes and tried to get it under the boxes by 3-4 inches to reduce exposed dirt that helps grass/weed growth. We did not clear the grass in those areas; just rolled out the fabric. The picture is taken 6 weeks after installation in April (in Virginia) when its max growth period. We weed manually a handful of weed that grows through. The second picture is the raised bed with plastic mulch, which basically covers where you growth things and has a drip line under the plastic for watering. We used Geofabrics in he walkways and covered it with 3 inches of mulch. So far, no weed growing at all but I expect to get some shooting through the fabric by the end of summer. Again, the idea is to minimize not eliminate weeding. For both these projects, we cut the 4-ft wide fabric into 2-ft wide sections and used that in the perimeter of the garden. Then used 6-inch staples to secure them. This allows us to mow the grass around the edges with the mower deck going over the fabric and not pulling it up. This was our biggest issue given the size of our garden and need to have the ability to use a riding mower to cut the grass quickly and efficiently. I have also used it as a french drain and will see how well it works this year. This Geofabric is the heaviest density I have found at 8 OZ. It is non-woven, which means it lets water through (woven fabric is like a tarp with not water penetration). I think its worth every penny even if it lasts 1-2 years. I think we should cover it with mulch to prevent UV deterioration but my wife wants to see the weeds to pull as they come up. We are testing her way and mine and use the insights for next year. Finally, I'm building a 300-ft gravel road and debating if I should use woven or non-woven. I'm leaning towards woven fabric to prevent water penetration and loss of stone dust in the gravel that holds of the road. Need to do some more research or even testing to see which is better.

Works great. Very strong. Water makes it through and is very hard to puncture with stapes so there is no worry about ripping it accidentally when moving it around and there are rocks on it.

Excelente calidad y precio, el producto tal cuál se describe.

No tenía idea que era una malla pero la veo como si hubiera comprado un fieltro que seguramente me hubiera salido más barato. Tiene 3 semanas instalada y comienza a pasarse el pasto. Ahora tengo que mover piedras y arrancarlo. Mucho trabajo

Fast delivery. It is a little bit expensive but seems like one of the best quality materials. Highly recommend it.

I used this to make a French drain and to separate the clay soil from the permeated pipe and stones. It works wonderfully and has helped us solve a huge drainage problem. I have ordered more from this company to complete the project next spring.
