How to Install Landscape Fabric Like a Pro

[@danielconroy8928]

Straightforward, informative - well done! Bonus: no cheesy music, no extraneous blather.

[@magamexican6302]

no obnoxious 'like share subscribe'. No 'follow us on facebook'.

[@andrewnash1332]

"Blather" is an underutilized word.

Lol! Agreed! Cheesy music sucks!

Lol well said

This kind of fabric was used to do the landscaping when I purchased my house 20 years ago - and it is still in great shape. I was looking around to see where I could buy something similar - and landed on this young man. Very helpful!

[@abigailnavarro9918]

I have spent hours looking up information and asking for advice and this guy just answered all my questions in under 7 minutes !!

[@-Nathan87-]

Woven fabric does not let water fall through fast enough. It's more for uses of runoff driveways etc.

[@markichambers]

3.5 mins on X2 speed

[@c0mmanderfatal]

its my first time doing anything like this as a self employed individual. Thanks for all the little tips in here!

Great teacher here. I will come back for more content. Thanks for sharing your wisdom without fluff.

[@michaelkuhne2705]

I would personally recommend digging the holes for your plants to be planted before laying down the weed fabric

[@trevormcmanis]

Absolutely… good point 👍🏻🏆

[@raytoto8277]

Lay down fabric first. Get it tight. Then use a hole saw or a drywall ceiling light cut out tool to make perfect circles. Then plant. Dirt sits on fabric then it's an easy backfill especially if you have clay soil.

[@DavidMosby]

I thought this project was a no brainer...until 2 weeks later and the damn weeds start growing through cheap crap. Thanks for the video. I learned my lesson.

Thank you for your super informative video. I've been nervous to lay this down lol you made me feel more confident so thank you!

[@DaisyDukesLandscaping]

You got this!

[@oldschoolscannerbuff]

You explained how to add plants after this is down. What is the best way to lay this down around plants and bushes? Best place to cut the fabric etc.

[@DaisyDukesLandscaping]

Great question! The easiest thing to do is stretch out your fabric to the link that you need it and line it up with the plants off to the side. Then simply make a slit in the fabric from the outside edge towards the middle and cut away just enough material for it to fit around the base of the plants. Once everything is laying flush I like to add another scrap piece the fabric and then laid over top of the cut that I made. This is going to be one of the next videos I make. I’ve tried it a couple times while working and videoing it myself but it just didn’t turn out right.

[@carenallen5841]

I made my own staples..coat hangers..cut with wire cutters bend into stapes..cheep and worked just fine

Keep doing your hard work its time before you go viral. Consistency is the key

[@DaisyDukesLandscaping]

I appreciate the kind words of encouragement.

[@johnfisher4910]

Thanks man. I spent a full day laying "professional-grade" weed barrier from Lowe's last year. All it did was make it more difficult to pull the weeds. They grow up through those tiny holes, which then act as a "catch" to prevent the root from being pulled through. Would have been easier to maintain WITHOUT that barrier. Anyway, I ordered the stuff you recommended.

[@DaisyDukesLandscaping]

Hate to hear that but this stuff is much better. You might still get some weeds on top depending on if you use mulch or not, but the roots won’t penetrate this fabric nearly as easily as the stuff they sell on the big box stores, so if you do have to pull any weeds they should come up very effortlessly. You can also use any type of product with prodiamine and add it to the top of your mulch to keep any weeds seeds from germinating. It’s a “pre-emergent”.

[@johnfisher4910]

@@DaisyDukesLandscaping This stuff is no better. After having it down for a couple weeks, weeds are back in full effect.

Kay we have projects in the works all the time. Sometimes it’s hard to race the daylight and weather to stop and make teaching moments, BUT we do have a few scheduled clean ups on the books that want landscape fabric (in curved beds) that have pre-existing beds. I’ll do my best to film a follow up video for those like you who want more in depth details on already established beds.

You can avoid frayed edges by running a blow torch flame quickly over the cuts, just enough to singe them and seal them. 👍

[@rachaelhutchings5659]

This was so informative. I used a very similar membrane in my front garden borders and 1 year on and not one single weed. The only part l didn't understand was the over lapping at the edges? If anyone could explain this to me, I'd be grateful Great video. 😊

[@DaisyDukesLandscaping]

The reason you want to overlap the edges is to reduce the likelihood of a weed seed germinating between the cracks of two pieces of fabric. If you butt the edges of two pieces of fabric there will be an seam with exposed or potentially exposed soil… to help less the likelihood of nuisance weeds getting under the edges of one piece of fabric or the other I recommend overlapping the two!! Hope that makes sense!!

[@slayerwatcher]

Great video. Can you lay this material down and then cover with topsoil and plant flowers above the woven fabric? Thanks...

[@DaisyDukesLandscaping]

You could but adding topsoil over it defeats the purpose since weeds will immediately grow in the topsoil.

[@AndrewLakebrink-cz2vl]

Great video, I was looking for some info before attempting this over the weekend. One question, I'm guessing it's better to place the border before putting down the fabric? Probably gives a good spot to work towards

[@DaisyDukesLandscaping]

You can do it either way. Sometimes it’s easier to mark where your border is going to be with marker paint, and then lay the fabric without having anything impeding the installation.
