Installing Weed Barrier Fabric

What happens here

Black woven landscape fabric (weed barrier) is unrolled and carefully positioned over the planted areas, overlapping the installed flexible edging. This fabric prevents weeds from growing through the decorative gravel while allowing water to pass into the soil below. Once the fabric is laid out, holes are created for each plant. A torch (weed burner) is used to melt neat, circular holes in the fabric directly over where the plants are. This method creates clean edges and prevents fraying, offering a professional finish. During this phase, any low-voltage wiring for future lighting could be carefully run beneath the fabric or through small slits to ensure discreet and protected installation.

Goal: Weed barrier fabric is laid over the prepared ground in the plant beds to suppress weed growth and provide a clean base for decorative gravel.
