Velway Weed Control Membrane 1x10m landscape fabric 🌱
Description:
This heavy-duty weed control membrane is a woven polypropylene ground cover designed to suppress unwanted growth while letting air and moisture pass through. It suits use under artificial grass, around patios, paths and flower beds, and helps reduce maintenance in planted and paved areas.
Key Points
The fabric is made from durable woven polypropylene, offering tear resistance and weather durability for long-term outdoor use. It is breathable and lets water and nutrients reach the soil, which helps established plants remain healthy while limiting light to emerging weeds 🌱. According to the manufacturer, the black colouring further reduces light penetration to the soil surface, improving suppression of grasses and weed seedlings.
Installation is straightforward. The membrane can be cut to size and features stripes to help align plants and rows when planting through the fabric. It is also flexible enough to be used over gravel, paved driveways or beneath artificial turf, and it stabilises top layers while helping to prevent weed regrowth 💧. Consider that extreme frost or prolonged UV exposure may affect any synthetic fabric over many seasons, so anchoring and covering edges can extend service life.

Usage Recommendations
Lay the membrane over a prepared, level soil surface and cut openings only where planting is required. Use landscape pins or staples to secure the edges and overlap adjacent sheets by at least 10–15 cm to improve coverage. For paths and driveways, add a layer of gravel or paving on top to protect the fabric and reduce UV wear. When used under artificial grass, ensure good drainage and trim excess fabric at joins to avoid lumps.
For planting beds, make slits or crosses for individual plants and fold edges back neatly to maintain appearance. Remember that while the fabric suppresses most annual weeds, persistent perennial roots may still find gaps, so occasional spot weeding can keep the area tidier. Also, if you need a breathable barrier with strong water flow, this model’s high permeability helps maintain soil moisture balance while reducing surface weed growth. 🌿.
