I used the landscape staples to secure the landscape fabric in my front and back yards. These big long staples work great. The fabric can stay in its place. I haven’t had them long enough to see if they last. The product description says they are made from heavy-duty galvanized steel, but they didn’t advertise anti-rust like other products. Anyway, they probably will last longer than the fabric.
When I bought this roll, I was almost done with my garden project a few months ago. So I saved this particular roll for next spring being that it was thicker and stronger than the one I got at the hardware store...Being of apparent better quality and cost about the same, I wish I had waited and returned the other one which have not throughly prevented weeds and other plants growth through my rocks. However, I rather use this one for my next vegetables crop in my backyard. This would be great for controlling the unwanted growth around my plants. I usually cover the ground with cardboard during late fall and winter (which is very mild here), it kills the vegetation and promotes earthworm proliferation. Then I remove the cardboard and cover the area with this type of cloth. Make small cuts in the spot I would replant my started seeds (small plants I start indoor). Then I cover with mulch to protect from the sun and retain humidity. So yes, this is great not only for setting pavers, bricks, or stones, but also for growing vegetables.
I used the 8 mill product. Was easy to work with. No tears an constant thickness.
We chose the 8 oz. 4’ x 100’ for the first application and used every inch of it as the base for laying 3” of rubber mulch. Fabric or geotextile is a beautiful very durable application. So comfortable to craw around and lay on while applying. Highly recommend using at least 6” staples and always lay w 8” overlap for best results. Remember to measure twice, cut once! Great service and quick delivery. Quality worth every cent!
