How should DuPont™ Weed Control Fabrics be installed?
For best results, thoroughly remove and/or kill any existing weeds from the installation area. The use of a post-emergence systemic herbicide may be required and/or a pre-emergent herbicide may be desired for additional weed control (Always consult the herbicide manufacturer’s product label for recommended and approved uses). Roll out the fabric (either side up or down) and secure with DuPont™ Landscape Anchor Pins at 3–5 ft. intervals. For existing plants, cut the fabric and fit around the base of the plant and leave sufficient room for future growth for new plantings, cut an “X” in the fabric large enough to allow planting of the root ball. Remove any loose soil from on top of the fabric. Finally, cover the fabric with three to four inches of mulch to further anchor and protect the fabric.
