Woven Ground Cover Fabrics: Weed Block Fabric,Weed Barrier Fabric & Conservation Fabric. STOP the WEEDS, our fabric lets water and nutrients pass!
Ground Cover fabric is referred to by several names, but it was designed with one purpose in mind: to trap moisture in the soil and prevent weed growth.
Ground Cover (weed barrier, conservation fabric or weed block) is an engineered black woven polypropylene geotextile fabric. This fabric is designed to withstand long periods of sunlight, resist damage from insects and wildlife, and allow water penetration. All NYP ground cover comes with a woven green stripe marker every 12” for guidance during installation or for lining potted plants.
NYP also supplies 6” “U” shaped wire sod staples, for holding the fabric in place during installation. (See bottom of this page.)

TO CALCULATE HOW MANY SQUARE FEET OR SQUARE YARDS YOU WILL NEED:
- Calculate the number of feet in width x the number of feet in length to get the total square footage.
- To calculate the square yards, divide the total square footage by 9.
Example:
4’ X 300’ = 1200 sq ft
1200 sq ft/9 = 133.33
