Description

Super Geotextile Pro Grade 5 oz weed barrier (Pro 5 Plus) is a heavy duty, double-layer landscape fabric. A woven and a non woven polypropylene layer are needle punched together, so you get the strength of a woven with the water flow of a non woven – a weed block made to last 25 years.

  • Double-layer “capped” construction – woven + non woven polypropylene needle punched together.
  • Heavy 5 oz/yd² fabric – a thick, pro grade fabric for long-term weed control.
  • Planting lines every 12 inches – space plants quickly and evenly.
  • Lets water through – rated 10 gal/min/ft² so rain and irrigation still reach the soil.
  • 25 year fabric – built for long-term weed control in beds, gardens and under rock.

Where to use it

  • Flower beds & vegetable gardens
  • Under mulch, rock and decorative stone
  • Under decks, patios and walkways
  • Around trees, shrubs and fence lines
  • Commercial landscaping & nurseries
  • Soil & landscape stabilization

Installation tips

  1. Remove existing weeds and roots, then rake the area smooth.
  2. Roll out the fabric and use the 12" planting lines to line up rows.
  3. Overlap seams 6–12 inches so weeds can’t sneak through.
  4. Pin edges and seams every 3–5 feet.
  5. Cut an X where each plant goes, then cover with mulch or rock.

Don’t forget the pins. Hold your fabric in place with our 6" galvanized circle top landscape pins or 11 gauge galvanized landscape staples.

FAQ

How much do I need?
Multiply width x length for square feet and add a little for overlaps. Choosing a wider roll means fewer seams.

Will water still drain?
Yes – it’s permeable, so water and air reach the soil.

Should I cover it?
Covering with mulch or rock looks better and protects the fabric from sun, so it lasts longer.

Can I order a sample?
Yes – choose the 1' x 1' sample option.

Better than pesticides

This comes in a giant roll. You cut it to the sizes you need. It is easy to cut. The directions are clear. They state the fuzzy side goes towards the dirt; this is to help with grip. The slick and shiny side faces up, this is to help channel water. Then use some garden staples to secure in place and you are done. Once you get going it only takes a few minutes to install. There was no smell to the product and it lays very nicely. You could easily use this for many different types of projects like lining the ground for an above ground pool. It isn't as heavy as a tarp but it lays smoother than one. Excellent product and homeowner approved!

Great Weed Barrier

I love this weed barrier fabric. I hate Weeds! I used it under my rocks. I planted some azaleas and put this around them. It was easy to work with. I also used it when I put down black mulch, you couldn't see the barrier because it is black. I like that. The other pictures are the rock landscaping I am going to take apart and put this weed barrier down. It is worth the extra work not having to weed.

The fabric is much easier to cut and lay

The fabric is much easier to handle than I thought it would be. I am hoping that next spring I can reclaim my flower bed from the weeds I have been fighting for several years.

Hi there, we're glad to hear the fabric is easy to handle! Best of luck reclaiming your flower bed next spring.

Good landscaping fabric

I have no complaints about this stuff. The roll came well packaged, it is heavy duty, and does a good job blocking weeds. If your use-case permits, try to cover it with stone or something to keep the sunlight off as UV tends to break this kind of thing down pretty quickly.

Durable, better than local purchase

Have a small batch I purchased from a local store and it pales in comparison. The thickness, just overall weight, utilized so far in brick and landscaping. 3 months since install and everything is looking like the day I finished.

Excellent landscaping fabric (see details). Recommended

Super Geotextile Professional 5oz Geotextile Weed Barrier Fabric is pretty great. For a couple years I've painstakingly weeded a few large areas of shrubs and flowers - fully intending to put down landscape cloth. Well, no more... this fabric cuts pretty well with a set of coarse shears. It goes down without slipping, and is easily kept in place with lawn staples. I hope the longevity of this fabric is good, but I don't really have any reason to think it won't be - I'll update the review if there are any surprises. At 300 sqft for $49, this is relatively cheap for what you get. Recommended

Good By Weeds

Nice heavy barrier. Easy to lay down even over and existing set of bushes. I had enough to lay down two layers and it is nice to have weed free areas around the yard.Nice quality. Recommend.

High quality well priced landscape fabric

The product arrived quickly and was well protected in transit. This is a 6‘ x 100‘ roll of black landscape fabric. It is shipped folded so the length is 3‘ x 100‘. It is very easy to unfold the fabric into it’s full 6’ width. The fabric is very durable and does not fray. It was easy to drive standard landscape staples through it and into the ground. The primary use for this fabric was to create a weed free barrier in a part of our garden where we wanted to plant okra. We simply rolled it out, attached it with a Staples and planted the okra by cutting a small X into the fabric and placing the seeds into the ground directly. There are guide marks spaced at 1 foot intervals along the length of the fabric which is helpful when trying to plant straight rows. Once everything was planted and the seedlings reached about 6 inches high we then cover the fabric with 1 1/2 inches of shredded mulch to protect the fabric from the direct sunlight and to create a insulator for the ground for our okra.

Better than most!

Having purchased landscape fabric before, I can say that this is thicker and MUCH better quality than the typical stuff on the market.It comes on a convenient roll.I rolled this out on a patch of land in between my driveway and a fence. I cut the weeds down but couldn’t remove them all. So far it seems to be working great to suppress the weeds underneath.I used the 6-inch landscape staples from the same company and everything went perfectly with no issues.Great quality products!

Very durable, no weeds yet!

We needed some weed barrier for under a raised platform. We laid it down and so far no weeds have poked through. Just got done with the project so I'll update if anything changes. My hubby says he was surprised with the product, I guess it was so tough that it didn't tear easily and he was happy with that.

Definitely helpful

We live in a very rural / wooded area and it's been a real challenge to keep the poison ivy from taking over and choking out the things that we want to grow in our permaculture garden. I lost a well established comfrey plant to the stuff. Nevermind the itches and allergies when pets roll around in it! We have tried garden plastic as a weed barrier, usually have had to replace it in a year or two.This 5ounce Super Geotextile professional weight weed barrier fabric has really proved helpful so far in getting the encroaching weeds under control. Roll out the amount you need, be sure to tack it down with landscape staples to hold it in place. You will need those even if you are going to put soil over the top of the fabric.So far I am super impressed and this will likely be a reorder for us.

Weed barrier

Installing this is really easy just need to use garden staples to keep it in place. Don't know if it works yet but will update if any weeds break through.

No Garden Should Be Without This

My husband went nuts during COVID and tilled up about 1/3 of our yard to plant a big old garden. He put regular weed block down to help with weeds. It worked pretty well for that first growing season. After that? You couldn't tell that he had used anything. We read that geotextile fabric like this was much more effective, so he got a small roll early this year. It worked great! We needed more, so we snagged this.This is nice and thick - both in the heaviness of the fabric as well as how wide the roll is. You can cover so much more ground with it!! You will need a sharp blade to make cuts, but that's what you want. It's too late to plant for us down here in Zone 9 - it's just way too hot - but we are already prepping for a fall/winter planting. We've put some down, and so far, not a weed in sight. I'm thinking this will last at least 2-3 seasons!

Heavy Duty!

This is heavy duty landscape fabric (weed barrier cloth). I picked up this roll of landscape fabric to use down the side of my home where I am installing raised planter beds. I love that the cloth came on a roll. It made it easier to lay down. The landscape fabric is closely woven. The weeds are terrible in my yard. I learned the hard way that one layer is not enough. I wanted to make sure that no weeds are going to come up. I laid down three layers and then put my raised bed on top. I also used the weed cloth where I have stepping stones. The cloth can be laid down right on top of grass and weeds. It is easy to cut the fabric (scissors do the job). The fuzzy side goes down with the slick side up. I used garden staples to secure the weed barrier in place. This landscape fabric does the job. I am very pleased with this large roll. I used this roll to do the garden down one side of my home. I still have half a roll left. I am going to use it for the raised bed in front of my screened porch. I am thrilled that the weeds will be no more.

Necessary under rocky borders

The city just redid my back fence with new Trex. It’s great but they left behind clods of dirt that are now causing weeds in the rock border area. I had weed problems before that. The house is 12 plus yrs old and whatever weed barrier existed under the rock border is all but nonexistent anymore and disintegrated. Plus a few other accidents with dirt planters tipping over in the wind… it all desperately needed to be ripped out and done over. We also have a lot of birds that drop seeds or something.I don’t like to use glyphosate so I’ve had a steam weeding guy come but he’s so expensive. My organic lawn people even said their citrus treatment is only recommended after at least one glyphosate treatment.My daughter has tics so I’ve been hand pulling to avoid chemicals by that’s just too tedious. This stuff will hopefully keep weeds at bay for years to come.

My front yard garden loves me more now...

I have a patch of dirt with some bark down and rose bushes in the front.The weeds have been spreading like crazy and it seems like my 'cheap', thin weed barrier isn't doing any good. So time to change things out.+ Great thick barrier.This is definitely better than what I had (maybe 3mm?) so the added thickness should do wonders.+ Nice big roll to roll out and cut to shape.400 sq. ft. is a nice amount of coverage.OVERALL:Well worth checking out.

Easy Gardening Anywhere

I love to garden and this landscaping fabric makes it so much easier.I use this landscape fabric to lay down new gardens. I lay it right over grass and weeds.Note: Be sure to get a box of landscape staples to hold this fabric in place.Anyway, I just cover an area with this fabric, place raised beds or grow bags on top, fill them with soil and I have an instant new garden. And, the paths between the raised beds are weed free for years to come.You can really garden anywhere with this fabric.This fabric is heavy duty. It's actually thicker than the landscape fabric I used for my huge main garden and it's been down for a couple years now and still going strong.I have no doubt that this fabric will work as well, if not better, than the original.No tiling, no mowing, no weeds. Win.I hope this was helpful.

thick and durable barrier

I was impressed that this weed fabric is pretty thick and durable, a coarser, dense fabric that blocks weeds but transmits air and water. Great for laying around your flowers or other plants to minimize maintenance and I expect it will last a good long while.

Compared to Home Depot’s Vigoro "Matrix Grid" Fabric

The main fabric is like woven poly-tarp. The dull side has a thin (and flimsy) layer of flat black spun/bonded fibers that would help keep your top cover from slipping down an incline.Compared to Home Depot’s Vigoro "Matrix Grid Landscape Weed Control Fabric,” this Geotextile fabric is: - Black vs. gray (appearance is more like soil) - Better a blocking light - 20% more expensiveBoth are tough (you can’t rip it with your hands).I wish In knew which would last longer. No fun to replace landscape fabric after it’s covered with a few inches of dirt or rock.

Perfect, Easy to Use

This fabric barrier was easy to lay over gravel and stone and topped with mulch. Giving it "5" stars for the texture. It's thick and looks like it will be effective. If it turns out that weeds can get through I'll update, but I doubt that will happen because this is really well made. It allows water and nutrients to flow so it's an excellent barrier for sub-irrigation planters and wicking beds.THINGS TO KNOWUsed over gravel and stone for mulchUsed under raised bedsUsed as a barrier in sub irrigation planters.

Not quite as "heavy" as other 5 oz weed barrier

This fabric looks like what is pictured as is just like all of the other weed barrier fabric I have purchased. This fabric is listed as being 5 oz. fabric but it is not as thick/dense as other 5 oz. fabric I have put down. I am working on a project and picked up this roll and just made a side by side comparison.

Now this is a weed barrier!

Better late than never, they say. Our pepper plants were being crowded by remnants of the lawn that used to occupy their space. We could pull out the grass (and risk uprooting peppers too) or we could put down a barrier. It took some cutting and lawn stapling, but the grass has been subdued by this excellent barrier. Much thicker than one we bought from a home supply store for our tomato garden. I can't imagine anyone would be disappointed with this product.
