The Benefits of Dewitt Landscape Fabric
Customers may ask you, “Do I really need to use a landscape fabric?” You may have even asked yourself at some point.
Due to a previous bad experience, or seeing a negative post on social media, some customers may feel that using any landscape or garden fabric is a bad idea. But not all landscape fabric is created equal.
The truth is like many products – in most cases they get what they pay for. If they are going to spend several thousand dollars on a new landscape and/or hardscape installation, is saving a few dollars on the landscape fabric by purchasing the cheapest option a wise decision? The landscaping fabric will be among the least expensive items in most landscape installs. Going with a better grade fabric will likely actually save them money in the long run with less callback, and in the worst-case scenario, a re-work of the job.
Using a quality landscaping fabric also provides other key benefits to a healthy landscape besides just weed control:
- Conserving water – using a high-quality landscape fabric will slow down evaporation in the soil.
- Good for earthworms and microbes – helps retain moisture in the soil by slowing evaporation. This makes a healthier environment for worms and beneficial microbes in the soil.
- Extend the life of mulch – provides a barrier between the mulch and native soil, slowing the decomposition of mulch. This saves the customer money by reducing how often the mulch has to be re-applied, and reducing the amount to be used.
