Ground Cover
Our high-strength ground cover fabric is engineered for professional agricultural, nursery, and landscaping use. Made from UV-stabilized polypropylene and HDPE tapes, this breathable weed barrier allows excellent water permeability while helping control erosion, suppress weeds, and reduce soil moisture loss through evaporation. Lightweight yet durable, it resists most horticultural chemicals and is easy to install across large growing areas, walkways, orchards, and greenhouse floors. Available in multiple widths, colors, and weights to support a wide range of crop production and commercial landscaping applications.
