Landscape fabric is most effective for long-term projects where you want lasting weed control and minimal maintenance. It’s especially useful under gravel paths, permanent garden beds, or decorative landscaping where the layout won’t change often.
High quality landscape fabric is designed to hold up for years, providing steady protection against weeds while allowing water and nutrients to reach plant roots. For short-term uses, such as temporary garden setups or seasonal plantings, the effort and cost of installing fabric may not be worth it.
