Its woven polypropylene construction makes GROUNDTEX suitable both as a heavy-duty weed suppressant and as a separation or reinforcement layer within appropriate ground constructions.

Heavy-Duty Weed Control Fabric

GROUNDTEX is commonly used as a heavy-duty weed suppressant membrane in horticultural, agricultural and landscaping applications.

When correctly installed, the ground cover creates a physical barrier that helps suppress unwanted weed growth, making it suitable for areas such as:

• Planting beds
• Borders
• Growing areas
• Nurseries
• Landscaping projects
• Paths and landscaped areas

Openings can be formed in the fabric where planting is required, allowing GROUNDTEX to provide ground coverage around plants while helping control unwanted vegetation.

Ideal for Horticultural and Agricultural Growing Applications

GROUNDTEX is specifically designed for use within horticultural and agricultural growing applications.

The heavy-duty woven fabric can be used to cover prepared ground, helping suppress weeds and provide a practical surface around growing and planting areas.

It is particularly suited to applications where a durable ground cover is required over larger areas.

Ground Stabilisation and Separation Fabric

In addition to weed suppression, GROUNDTEX can be used as a separation and reinforcement layer within suitable ground constructions.

The fabric can provide separation between different materials, helping reduce mixing between the underlying ground and construction layers above.

Potential applications include:

• Paths
• Driveways
• Roads
• Hardstanding
• Car parks
• Paved areas
• Earthworks
• Foundations
• Retaining structures

The overall construction and suitability of GROUNDTEX should be determined according to the intended application, expected loading and project specification.

Woven Polypropylene Ground Cover

GROUNDTEX is manufactured from 100% polypropylene slit film tapes to create a strong woven fabric.

The material has a weight of 100gsm and is designed to provide a durable ground covering for professional horticultural, agricultural, landscaping and construction applications.

Its woven construction distinguishes GROUNDTEX from non-woven drainage geotextiles such as DRAINTEX and DRIVETEX.

1m x 50m GROUNDTEX Midi Roll

Each GROUNDTEX roll measures:

1m wide x 50m long

Providing a nominal area of:

1m x 50m = 50m²

Actual usable coverage will be lower where overlaps, cutting, detailing and wastage are required.

The 1m width provides a practical format for paths, planting beds, borders and other applications where narrower runs of ground cover fabric are required.
