Plow & Hearth 51522 Permanent Mulch Pathway

If you have super muddy areas that have a lot of traffic. this product does tear. It is ok to eliminate about 80 % of mud. I was hoping that it was as accurate as the video showed. However, I think if your area is more muddy that what it is showed, something more stable is needed. Easy to use, just roll and tack down.

I have owned a few of these pathways, and I use them in my very beautiful perennial garden. I love them. They're relatively easy to use ... but it is also easy to rip pieces out of it. It's not backed with anything and so your hand can go right through it. But other than that, it's so much easier to put these down to make a pathway in your garden than it would be to use pavers or bricks. You don't have to dig first. Just unroll it like a rug (using caution mentioned above). I used ground staples to anchor it in place, and I have one in the garden that has been there for at least four years.

Material as described except the rolls I received are actually black rather than dark brown. I can work with this in my little yard but folks shopping should know it may not be as natural looking a dark brown as shown in the pictures.

i used this along my fence so i wouldn’t have to dig up any earth or get rid of weeds. i covered with rubber mulch - so far so good. it is pretty durable & heavyweight - but does tear easily - anything that tears could be used like mulch so not a big deal. for the price - i would say it’s cost effective as long as it works for more than a season.

It tears easily if pulled on or handled incorrect, but once I put it on the ground and staked it in place it has stayed there and looks nice. Mine doesn't get used much, so I don't know how well it would hold up with a lot of use, but it works for what I need. The picture I attached is 2 paths laid end to end, with a little bit cut off.

Relatively easy to cut ti fit area needed. It does crumble a little around the edges, but I will have to wait and see how it holds up in the long run. I purchased it for an area along a joint fence line. Our English Bulldog boarder has a love/hate relationship with the labradoodle who lives next door. He runs furiously up and down the fence and has churned up the grass there into just mud Impossible to just re-seed or plant due to his bad habit. It is spring, with lots of rain and he then is covered in mud. Since he is old and deaf it is impossible t just call him away. My two dogs are no problem here. I cut the strips in half horizontally and placed them next to the fence. Voila! No more mud on him, and it looks attractive. I may order some more to use around trees

My neighbor put this along my neighbor' fence. He had to remove the rock that was there and put down the artificial mulch. I had this done because my dog loves to run along the fence with the neighbor's dog. It was easy to put down, but I don't know how long to will last. I thought it was worth trying.

First off it is more black than brown. I wish I didn’t unroll it and attempt to lie it down. Reading in my hands and it is black. Not even close to my brown rubber mulch. It is very small. I would not pay $10, never mind $50. And to rub it in my face the invoice said 22.67 for the item. I paid $50.
