Why this Heavy-Duty Non-Woven Ground Fabric works

• 8 oz strength: Thicker than typical 3 oz landscape cloth, the 8 oz weight resists tearing when gravel or fill is dumped directly on top.
• Soil and aggregate separation: Prevents soil and gravel layers from mixing in French drains, gravel paths, and retaining wall backfills, which keeps drainage working long-term.
• Weed suppression: Blocks light to suppress weed germination under mulch, decorative rock, and pavers.
• Water and nutrient flow: Non-woven construction lets water and dissolved nutrients pass through while holding back soil particles.
• Long roll, fewer seams: 100 feet of continuous fabric means fewer joins on long runs like trench drains and retaining walls.

Frequently asked questions

What is non-woven ground fabric used for?
Non-woven geotextile is used as a separation, filtration, and drainage layer in landscaping and construction. Typical jobs include French drains, retaining wall backfill, gravel driveway underlayment, and weed control under mulch.

How is non-woven different from woven landscape fabric?
Non-woven fabric is needle-punched into a felt-like sheet. It passes water through the entire surface and is best for drainage and filtration. Woven fabric is stronger in tension and better for high-traffic underlayment like gravel paths.

Is 8 oz heavy enough for a French drain?
Yes. 8 oz is the standard recommended weight for French drain wrap. It holds back soil fines while letting water flow into the gravel and drain pipe.

How long does ground fabric last?
Covered with gravel or soil, non-woven ground fabric typically lasts 15 to 25 years. Sun exposure shortens its life, so install backfill or mulch promptly.
