Weed control membrane for garden landscaping
Weed control membrane, also commonly searched for as weed membrane, weed control fabric, weed suppressant membrane and landscape fabric, is used beneath finished garden surfaces to help suppress weed growth while still allowing water through.
Our current range includes a 1m x 100m Weed Control Membrane for larger landscaping jobs, with a nominal roll area of up to 100m² before allowing for overlaps, cuts and site layout.
Where can weed membrane be used?
The membrane is suited to general garden and landscaping applications including:
- Gravel areas where a permeable layer is needed beneath the finished surface.
- Garden borders where weed suppression is required around planting and landscaping.
- Paths and other landscaped areas where weeds need to be reduced beneath the surface layer.
- General garden landscaping where a permeable weed-control layer forms part of the build-up.
Weed membrane, weed control fabric or landscape fabric?
These terms are often used for the same broad type of landscaping product. On this page, weed control membrane, weed membrane, weed control fabric, weed suppressant membrane and landscape fabric all refer to the permeable membrane sold for general weed-suppression applications.
For specialist applications, always use the individual product specification rather than assuming that every membrane has the same strength, weight or construction.
How much weed control membrane do I need?
Measure the length and width of the area you want to cover and calculate the total square metres. The current 1m x 100m roll has a nominal area of 100m² when laid flat. Allow extra material for overlaps, edges, irregular shapes and cuts around planting or other features.
Why choose a permeable weed control membrane?
The membrane is designed to help suppress weed growth without creating a completely sealed layer, allowing water to pass through into the ground below. This makes it useful beneath gravel, borders, paths and other garden landscaping where drainage through the surface remains important.
