Frequently Asked Questions
How much landscape fabric overlap do I need?
Overlap landscape fabric strips by at least 6 inches (12 inches for slopes). Secure overlaps with fabric staples every 3 feet and use seam tape for a stronger bond.
How many staples do I need for landscape fabric?
Use staples every 3 feet along edges and seams, plus 1 staple per 10 square feet in the interior. A 500 sq ft area typically needs 80-120 staples.
How long does landscape fabric last?
High-quality woven landscape fabric lasts 10-15 years. Non-woven fabric typically lasts 3-5 years. UV exposure, foot traffic, and fabric weight all affect lifespan.
