What happens here
Position the gas torch so that its flame is directed towards the edge of the black geotextile fabric where it meets the gravel. Slowly move the torch along the desired cut line, allowing the heat to melt and neatly trim the fabric. The flame will also effectively burn away any small weeds or vegetation growing along the edge, creating a clean and defined border. Ensure a steady hand to achieve an even cut and avoid burning unintended areas of the fabric or surrounding materials.
Goal: Achieve a clean, weed-free edge on landscape fabric.
