Benefits of Plantex Weed Membranes
Plantex membranes offer several key advantages:
Non-chemical weed suppression – prevents weed growth without the use of herbicides.
Soil-friendly design – breathable fabric allows water and nutrients to pass through.
Long-lasting performance – UV-stable and puncture resistant.
Versatile use – suitable for patios, driveways, garden beds, and even under turf.
Reduced maintenance – keeps projects weed-free and visually clean.
This unique blend of permeability and strength is why Plantex weed membrane is often recommended for professional landscaping.
Where to Use Plantex Fabric
Plantex is versatile enough for a wide range of outdoor projects:
Beneath new turf to suppress weeds and promote healthy lawns.
Under paving, patios, and driveways to maintain stable sub-bases.
In flower beds, borders, and vegetable plots to minimise weeding.
With aggregates or bark to create low-maintenance surfaces.
For alternatives, we also supply non woven geotextile fabrics, ideal for drainage and soakaway systems, and a wider range of landscaping fabrics for other garden uses.
Installation Tips
Installing Plantex weed control fabric is straightforward:
Prepare the soil or sub-base, removing large stones and levelling the surface.
Roll out the Plantex membrane, cutting to fit as needed.
Overlap sections by at least 100mm to ensure full coverage.
Pin the fabric securely in place.
Lay turf, soil, paving, or decorative cover on top.
Adhere to manufacturer's instructions at all points to ensure the membrane stays secure, delivers maximum weed suppression, and maintains soil health.
