What is the process of installing landscape fabric?
The installation of landscape fabric can be divided into a number of steps. The steps have been enumerated below: • First it is important to ensure that the soil is free of weeds. You can eliminate them using two methods. One is by repeated cultivations and secondly by applying a herbicide. • Secondly select a calm day in which to proceed with the installation. • Once you have selected an appropriate day unroll the fabric and estimate where to cut the fabric. • Using a sharp knife or a pair of scissors cut slits and then carefully cover the fabric over and around the plant. • To close any gaps overlap the seams by at least 3 inches. • Use nails, heavy wire staples or plastic pegs to anchor the outer edges of the landscape fabric. After Installation Once the landscape fabric has been installed, cover the fabric entirely with 20 to 30 inches of weed-free organic mulch such as shredded bark. This is done to protect the fabric from ultraviolet degradation and helps conserve moisture too. T
