Dewitt Pro-5 Weed Barrier Fabric 5 oz, 3 x 250 Feet – Heavy-Duty Woven Landscape Ground Cover Mat for Raised Garden Bed, Greenhouse Gardening, Outdoor Landscaping, and Commercial Planting

The Dewitt Pro-5 Weed Barrier Woven Fabric is a bit on the pricier side, but it’s absolutely worth every penny! This fabric is incredibly durable and has done an excellent job at keeping weeds at bay in my garden and flower beds. It’s woven tightly, allowing water and nutrients to pass through while blocking weeds from growing. I’ve tried other weed barriers in the past, but this one stands out for its quality and longevity. It’s easy to lay down, doesn’t tear easily, and holds up well under the elements. After installing it, I’ve noticed a significant reduction in weeds, and my plants have been thriving without the constant hassle of pulling weeds. If you want a high-quality, reliable weed barrier that will last, I highly recommend the Dewitt Pro-5 Weed Barrier. It’s an investment that pays off in the long run!

A little pricey, but I am pleased with the amount I got and the thickness of the padding. To be determined how well it does as a weed barrier, since I just put it down this past summer, but fingers crossed! It was also easy to use!

Best weed barrier there is! I know some people are very negative when it comes to this type of material in the garden but this has saved me when it comes to weeds. It thick, strong, and is reliable over the years.

Like many other reviewers of this product, I’ve tried the “best” weed barriers offered by the box stores and didn’t get results I wanted. So what makes Dewitt Pro5 different? Read on…. The product is thicker than the top of the line garden center products. It’s described as double layered, and it is. The top layer is a weaved poly-like coat that looks like it will provide good drainage. The bottom layer looks like a fuzzy blanket — tighter but still good drainage. The top has yellow lines that make a great spacing guide when planting. It can also help with evenly placing staples. TIP: be sure to order staples for your project as this commercial grade product doesn’t include staples as some kit weed barrier products do. Challenges with installing include difficultly cutting with basic scissors. I cut mine with a matte cutting knife. A carpet knife would make this much easier. Measuring your garden space and cutting the correct length from the roll makes placement easier than rolling the material out on the ground as this is much heavier than the consumer product you may be used to. The seller is very good at customer service. I received a notification from Amazon that the item delivery was delayed. Since the shipper had no information about the status, and Amazon had no way to adjust the order (because the shipping information was not available), I contacted the seller and got a prompt response. The order came in but Amazon thought (and still thinks) the order has not been received. The seller took care of us even though the “normal” solutions were not available in Amazon’s system. If you’re looking for a top quality product supported by a responsive seller, this is the way to go. The product is on the expensive side, but well worth it for the quality and for the great service.

I bought this weed barrier some time ago and still have plenty left. I've used it in a variety of landscape projects around the house. It's easy to cut and roll out and rain and water does go through the fabric. It keeps the weeds from growing in our flower and mulch beds

*UPDATE 2* Well now after a few seasons this is still holding up fairly well. Using some chemical weed block helped a little, and the rubber mulch certainly isn't decomposing, but still I have to weed the beds a couple times per year. Various grasses and weeds still germinate in the leaves/detritus/needles/etc that end up in the mulch and themselves decompose. I think the best solution is to hire landscapers <g> *END UPDATE 2* *UPDATE* By the end of the season some weeds had managed to grow through the fabric (germinate on top and send roots down through the fabric). Pulling out the weeds did not result in any tears/rips unlike the experience I had with the less costly fabric where pulling out weeds occassionally caused tears. I was cautious with chemical weed-block because of a previous experience where it damaged several of my plantings, and will likely try again with chemical weed-block in smaller quantities to try and avoid some of the weed germination next season. *END UPDATE* I bought the first roll of this after reading the reviews to replace some fabric. I bought the second roll after seeing the thickness and (apparent) durability of the first. I have about 1100-1200 sq ft that I'm going to cover to start with and I expect to need very close to all of two rolls. I had previously been using bark mulch and bought this fabric to go under new rubber mulch. I had to replace the big box fabric primarily for two reasons 1) fabric had ripped in places as a result of removing a rosebush that had gone completely wild and 2) many weeds had started growing from the top side of the fabric through the fabric into the ground due to decomposing bark mulch. I am not as negative about the big box fabric as some other reviewers. If I had replaced my bark mulch every year, and not allowed the rose bush to run amok I think it would have held up well. The main complaint I have for the big box fabric is how quickly it degrades when exposed to any direct sun. I doubt I'll remember to update this review in 5 years with info about how well it held up. Pulling the weeds out of the old fabric that had been exposed to the elements led to more and more rips, and rendered the fabric ineffective. I upgraded to the Dewitt fabric because with rubber mulch I expect the mulch (and the fabric) to last many more years. The fabric is reminiscent of lawn chair webbing. It takes a good pair of shears to cut, and a nice sharp point to poke a hole in order to put in a fabric stake (I used plastic ones with a large round head). It is a bit narrower than the fabric it replaces, so with the recommended overlap you get rather less coverage than the 750 sq ft you would calculate based just on the dimensions of the roll (about 12-14% less). It is durable, and at no point have I so far poked through the fabric unintentionally, either by walking on it, or dropping tools etc on it, while installing. If I were not installing rubber mulch, and not expecting a fabric to last 10 years, I may still have opted for the much less expensive fabric, and replaced it more frequently. I give this 4 stars primarily based on value. I would guess this does not save money overall, but does reduce the amount of work (i.e. how frequently it gets replaced). If saving time & better durability is more important than saving money, I'd recommend this fabric.

It is not as thick or opaque as I had been led to believe by some of the reviews here. Let’s hope it will be effective for my application. If you really need industrial grade geotextile this is not the product you are looking for.

Extremely durable and tough. Buying from Amazon was the best value out there by far.

I purchased a similar product 8 years ago, and it needed replacing. I spend many hours trying to find a product to replace the old one. There are a lot of less quality on the market. It is really difficult to find a good one, as they all claim to be. BUT I was so happy when this arrived and it was identical to my old one. Installed in as greenhouse flooring, and i LOVE it........

put this down six years ago and still holding back the weed with no signs of breaking down

Used to suppress weeds beside the asparagus.
