Installation Guidelines for Maximum Performance:
Step 1: Prepare the Ridge
Remove existing weeds, rocks, and debris. Level the soil and rake for smooth coverage.
Ensure soil is well-drained before applying fabric.
Step 2: Fabric Placement
Unroll fabric over the prepared soil, fuzzy side down.
Overlap seams by 6 inches to prevent gaps and weed intrusion.
Step 3: Custom Fitting
Use garden shears to cut openings for plants, edging, or landscape features.
Anchor the fabric every 3–5 feet using landscape pins
Step 4: Covering
Add 2–3 inches of mulch, bark, or decorative stone over the fabric.
Check all corners and overlaps to ensure full coverage.
Step 5: Final Inspection
Walk the perimeter to confirm no areas are left exposed.
Inspect after watering to ensure moisture reaches soil.
