How Does Water Permeable Landscape Fabric Work?

If you’re looking for ways to prevent your plants from being damaged without using harsh chemicals, geotextile drainage fabric is the best solution for you. There are many benefits to adding landscape fabric underneath your garden, but the main reason is to ensure your plant’s health and stability by keeping moisture in and pests out. Let’s learn how water-permeable landscape fabric works.

How Does Landscape Fabric Work?

Water-permeable landscape fabric is woven to create a barrier between the ground and plants. This barrier allows the perfect amount of water to moisten the soil. The tiny holes in the fabric prevent large amounts of water from soaking your soil or flooding your garden. This fabric ensures minimum evaporation while allowing your plants to breathe.

Is Water Permeable Landscape Fabric Porous?

Extech’s landscape fabric is porous, meaning there are small holes that retain moisture. However, you should periodically check the plants and landscaping to ensure the surface is debris-free. If the landscape fabric gets too dirty, it could clog the tiny holes and cause water to puddle on top.

Why You Should Use Landscape Fabric

Before water-permeable landscape fabric, many gardeners placed plastic sheets on top of their soil to control pests and weed damage. While plastic sheets worked, they caused harm to plants and negatively affected the soil.

Plastic prevented moisture and air from reaching the plants, which caused disease, rot, and damage to the plant bed. By using porous landscape fabrics, you can still protect your plants while allowing them to breathe and retain moisture.

Water-permeable landscape fabric is perfect for those who want to keep their greenery up to par. Extech Building Materials has the ideal tools to ensure yards and gardens are stunning year-round. Check out our affordable geotextile drainage fabric selection to help keep the soil moisturized and healthy.
