Landscape fabric is a type of material used in gardening and landscaping to control weeds while allowing water and nutrients to reach the soil. Made from woven or non-woven polypropylene, it acts as a barrier that prevents weed growth without blocking essential elements. This fabric is often laid down before planting flowers, shrubs, or vegetables, making it a popular choice for garden beds and pathways. It can be easily cut to fit specific areas and is durable enough to withstand various weather conditions, providing long-term benefits for maintaining a healthy landscape.
