WEEDSHIELD

Where functionality meets affordability. WeedShield is your go-to for decking, flower beds and planting, giving you reliable weed control.

Crafted for functionality and quality, our collection comes in three distinct variants designed to meet various gardening needs.

PREPARATION:

1. Clear the Area: Remove all existing weeds, debris, and stones from the area where WeedShield is to be installed. We recommend applying a suitable weed killer at this stage. For the best results, the ground should be as smooth and flat as possible.

INSTALLATION:

Water the soil thoroughly before laying the fabric to ensure the ground is moist.

Avoid stretching the fabric too tightly; it should lay flat against the soil but still have some give.

1. Measure and Cut: Roll out WeedShield fabric over the prepared area. Use the tape measure to help cut the fabric to the required size, allowing 10cm of overlap at the seams if you are covering a larger area. By following these instructions, your WeedShield fabric will provide effective weed suppression, allowing you to enjoy a low-maintenance and tidy garden space. Please note that WeedShield isn’t designed to suppress all weeds and special care should be paid to invasive weeds.

2. Secure the Edges (optional): Secure the fabric into the ground using garden staples or fabric pegs. Place them at the edges of the fabric and at seams every 60cm to prevent any movement. Other solutions from Geoworks (geosynthetics by Wrekin) are available for the purposes of controlling roots, such as our 1mm HDPE. For more information, please call or email on the details below.

3. Overlap Seams: If your area requires multiple pieces of WeedShield, make sure each piece overlaps by at least 10cm to prevent weeds from growing through the gaps.

4. Cut X’s for Plants: If you’re installing WeedShield in an area with existing plants, carefully cut an X where the plant is and fold back the flaps. If you’re planting new plants, cut an X where each plant will go, dig a hole, and plant as usual. Be sure to fold the fabric as close to the base of the plants as possible and secure it.

5. Cover with Mulch or Gravel (Optional): For aesthetic purposes and to further protect the fabric, cover it with mulch, bark, or gravel. This layer should be at least 7.5cm deep.
