The primary advantages of using landscape fabric are effective weed suppression and moisture retention, which significantly reduce garden maintenance. By blocking sunlight, the fabric prevents most weed seeds from germinating and makes it much easier to pull any that do sprout in the mulch on top.
It also helps the soil retain moisture by slowing evaporation and provides a layer of separation that keeps mulch or gravel from mixing into the soil. When used in the correct applications, this creates a clean, low-maintenance, and long-lasting landscape bed.
