Description
A heavy duty, weed control mat for stopping weed growth – ideal preparation when planning your new composite deck.
It’s a smart move under raised or ground-level decks to prevent weeds sprouting between boards or in hard-to-reach spots underneath. It forms a barrier that blocks light and roots, meaning far fewer weeds poking through gaps years later—no more awkward crawling underneath to yank them out. It also improves drainage and keeps the sub-area tidy, reducing overall maintenance.
Weed control mats – also called weed membrane, landscape fabric, or weed suppression fabric – are one of those handy garden helpers that can save you a ton of hassle if used in the right spots. It’s a permeable sheet that blocks sunlight from reaching weed seeds and roots below while still letting water and some air through.
In the garden itself, it’s great for paths, borders, or areas under mulch, gravel, or bark. Lay it down over cleared, leveled soil, overlap seams by 15-30 cm to stop sneaky gaps, pin it securely, then cover with 5-10 cm of mulch or stones. This stops most weeds from germinating or pushing up so cuts down on weeding dramatically! Always a bonus! It also helps retain soil moisture, and can even warm the ground a bit for earlier planting. It’s especially useful in low-maintenance zones like around shrubs, fruit bushes, or temporarily around veggie rows.
Made from durable, woven polypropylene material with a 10 year manufacturers guarantee.
A maintenance-free, efficient system – the weed control mat is a use-and-forget essential product when installing your composite deck.
