Weed Barrier
Weed Barrier Program is used as long-lasting protection against weeds for seedling trees without constant effort and damage to the seedlings or the environment.
Weed barrier is a black polypropylene fabric with the appearance of tightly-woven burlap. Moisture is able to penetrate the weed barrier fabric, but it prevents moisture loss from the soil beneath the fabric. Once the material is in place, post-planting maintenance is greatly reduced and the material has a minimum service life of five years guaranteed.
