Super Geotextile 4, 6, 8 oz Non Woven Fabric for Landscaping, French Drains, Underlayment, Erosion Control, Construction Projects - 6 oz (8X50)

My project with this was lining a French drain trench, 300+ feet, just along the ‘banks’ after the landscaping company neglected to put in any fabric. That was a really bad choice, because the clay just washes into the gravel then, and will clog up the drain ditch in no time. I couldn’t dig out all the gravel and line the whole thing, but it occurred to me that the worst erosion will be along the surface, so I bought this to line the edges. I cut strips of about 12-16 inches in width, and used some ingenuity and tools I had to try to tuck it in between the clay and the gravel. That was a LOT of work, but this fabric held up well. It’s thicker and more substantial, and drains far better, than regular landscape fabric. Geotextile fabric has a different purpose; it’s not something you put down under mulch. Consider it more of a soil retention fabric than a weed blocker; the aggressive Bermuda grass manages to poke through it, though the other weeds that plague my yard don’t seem to. So far I’ve used it to line my French drain as above, and seen how much it reduces the washing of clay into the effluent water; I used it under two retaining walls, and watched delightedly as the rain filtered through the clay soil and then the fabric, running clear as it went to the drain. If you have a project that needs geotextile fabric, this is excellent stuff. I used the 6 oz weight, because I wasn’t sure what I needed and it was right in the middle; it has definitely met expectations and even exceeded them. I bought more from this supplier when I realized how well it worked. Oh, and price wise? Compared to local landscape supply shops, the quality is better and the price is, too. If I need it again, I’ll buy it from this vendor.

If you are looking for a strong yet supple, environmentally friendly barrier material that allows air and water filtration to use in your garden or other outdoor environment, this is it. I spent a lot of time looking for a material to meet my needs. My requirements were: 1) to use in an outdoor garden, 2) to prevent weed growth, 3) material that would hold up under stone, 4) allows water to flow through it quickly, 5) allows air movement, 6) would not degrade quickly, and 7) would not degrade and leave all sorts of stupid little plastic shreds in the soil over time. If you’ve experienced this, you know what I’m taking about. (IMHO, Petro chemicals should not be knowingly added to soil/garden space). I ended up going with the Heavy Duty Super Geotextile, non-woven 8 oz. weight, in the 3’ x 50’ length. I used this as a layer in a garden next to the house, on top of existing soil, and under stone (gravel) that was added. It is intended as a weed barrier. Bushes will be planted in front of this area, and in the future I do not want to have to climb back in this area over bushes, to do weeding. I could not be happier with this choice. First of all, as other reviewers have noted, the material is like a thick felt. It is supple so you can move and adjust it exactly as you need to lay it down just right. The material is also very strong. It’s not just going to rip or tear on you. You will need a sharp scissors to cut it. Garden staples will go through it easily, if they have pointed ends and you use a hammer. This is head and shoulders so much better quality than the cheap junk sold in hardware or big box stores, (which rips when you just look at it). Not even in the same league. Does this product cost more? Yes. Do you get what you pay for? Yes. Keep in mind how much your time, and wear and tear on your body, is worth. Your future self will thank you for saving time, not having to dig up junky weed block in a few years and re-do everything. Do it right and do it once. I’ve included pictures of the project, before, during, and completed.

This was our third order to complete our project (we kept adding on). This fabric appears to be very durable, doesn't puncture easily. Since we have only part of it down since December, I cannot clarify it's longevity, but am hopeful. After checking big box stores and hardware stores, this price is by far the best for the same product.

Very Nice, thick and not easily punctures,

The fabric itself is excellent — thick, durable, and perfect for French drains, soil separation and erosion control. However, I was disappointed that the 8’×100’ roll came folded up in a box rather than on a roll. I understand it can’t ship as a full 8-foot roll, but even folding it in half (to 4’) and rolling it would make a huge difference. Folding leaves creases that take a while to flatten out when you’re trying to lay it neatly. Quality product overall!

Fabulous! We are putting in our yard and needed to build a retaining wall and create a drainage system for dry creek bed. We used this to fabric for both. For the wall, it went between the dirt and the gravel vertically. For the dry creek drainage system, it went horizontal. Easy to use. Great quality! Thick. I loved that we could buy the width, length, and thickness we needed for each project. Will be buying more again!

This is a really good underlayment (very thick compared to lawncloth) for under outside walkways (pavers or gravel path). It allows water to seep through easy (no puddling) but won't let the weeds come through and actually helps form a solid base if using gravel. I used it under a 3 ft wide x 25 ft long outdoor path with about 2 inches of the larger size of pea gravel and it has held up well. I'm not sure if I picked the right gravel as it moves a lot when I walk through it. I was hesitant to use the smaller size as it moves even more and was also hesitant to use the smaller limestone gravel because of the lime it would release into the soil and it has sharp edges that might have damaged the cloth over time. I also used it at the base of a downspout with rocks on top on a slope to deter erosion and it works well. The water moves down it faster than it moves through it.

Incredible quality. Easy to use. Applicable for many projects and uses.
