Supercover Groundcover Weed Matting Black with Grids 1m x 50m Roll

Supercover Groundcover Weed Matting is a cost-efficient, durable woven polypropylene barrier designed to tame weeds while letting essential moisture and air reach the soil. Its black fabric surface reduces light to weed seeds, while the distinctive green grid lines (20 cm spacing) provide a practical, built‑in measuring guide for planting layouts and project planning. With 105 g/m2 weight and five years of outdoor UV resistance, this roll is built to perform season after season in gardens, landscapes, and larger-scale groundcover projects.

Why this weed mat stands out

• Effective weed suppression with air and water permeability — The woven polypropylene structure blocks competing weeds without sealing the soil, maintaining healthy moisture balance and drainage for underlying beds and established plants.
• Visible 20 cm grid for precise layout — Green grid lines every 20 cm simplify spacing decisions, making it easier to plan perennials, shrubs, or groundcover installations without additional measuring tools.
• Long-lasting UV stability — Engineered to withstand outdoor exposure for up to five years, preserving performance and reducing the need for frequent replacements.
• Mid-weight, high-tidelity material — At 105 g/m2, the mat offers a sturdy yet manageable surface that lays flat, resists tearing, and remains easy to handle across large areas.
• Large, continuous roll for efficiency — A 1 m x 50 m roll minimizes joins and gaps, speeding up installation over expansive beds, slopes, or pathways.
• Versatile applications — Ideal for garden borders, under gravel or mulch paths, around trees and plantings, and in nurseries or landscape projects where weed control and drainage are both priorities.

Who this is for

• Homeowners tackling weed control in new garden beds, borders, or pathways
• Landscape professionals managing larger areas where reliable weed suppression and permeability matter
• Nurseries and community gardens seeking a durable, long‑term groundcover solution

Practical use cases and scenarios

• Lay over soil to suppress annual weeds while maintaining soil moisture for upcoming plantings; use the grid to set plant spacings precisely.
• Install under decorative gravel or mulch to reduce weed proliferation beneath hardscape features, with water still able to percolate to the roots.
• Prepare pathways or low-maintenance garden lanes where weed growth can be controlled without frequent herbicide use.
• Cover large garden expanses in commercial or municipal projects where a dependable, low-maintenance weed barrier is essential.

Installation tips for best results

1. Prepare the bed: remove debris and level the soil surface to promote uniform contact with the mat.
2. Roll out the mat, aligning the green 20 cm grid with your planned plant spacings or project layout.
3. Overlap edges by at least 10–15 cm where sections meet to ensure continuous weed suppression.
4. Secure the mat with appropriate pegs or pins at regular intervals to prevent movement, especially on slopes or windy sites.
5. Cover with mulch, decorative gravel, or soil to protect the mat from UV exposure and to integrate it into the finished landscape.
6. For planting, use the grid to mark planting holes through the mat as needed, ensuring roots can access the soil below.

Maintenance and longevity tips

• Inspect periodically for signs of tearing or displacement, particularly after heavy winds or adverse weather, and reseat with pegs as needed.
• Keep the surface free from sharp objects that might penetrate the mat; avoid dragging heavy equipment directly over it.
• Replace sections as needed over time to maintain optimal weed suppression and drainage performance.

With its combination of robust weed control, water permeability, and practical grid-guided installation, the Supercover Groundcover Weed Matting offers a reliable, long‑term solution for achieving tidy, low‑maintenance landscapes. Invest in a single, continuous roll to cover large areas efficiently, while keeping your soil healthy and accessible for plants to thrive.
