Landscape fabric comes in different types, and there are similar products on the market, so it can get a little confusing when shopping around. Often, landscape fabric is mistaken for black plastic. These are two different products, and it’s essential to know the difference, especially for hardscaping. In this guide, let’s talk about the main differences between fabric and plastic landscape fabric, what product is best for specific purposes, and which one is best for your garden: Landscape Fabric: This product suppresses weed growth while allowing water, air, and nutrients to reach the earth. It’s also used to enhance the garden’s look, especially when covered with a layer of mulch like gravel, lava rock, or bark. Landscape fabric will last for several years. Plastic Sheeting: A thin, black plastic that's used to smother weeds and retain soil moisture. It's affordable and practical to use to kill weeds compared to herbicides. But since the material is thin, it will break down after a few weeks, especially in harsh climates.

Read More »If you’re using landscape fabric simply to prevent weed overgrowth, yes, you can use plastic sheets as an alternative to landscape fabric. However, if you want to use this product under mulch like gravel, rocks, or other hardscaping material, you’re better off sticking to landscape fabric. Black plastic is only meant to be used for a few weeks or so; it will break down faster when exposed to the elements under mulch. Black plastic isn't meant to be a permanent fix to your garden; you must replace it periodically to keep your garden weed-free. Landscape plastic traps heat, which can smother your plants in the summer.

Stone mulch could be raked off or hosed down to remove dirt and debris. On the other hand, organic mulch has to be replaced every now and then. If the mulch is too thick, it will harbor weeds and be harder to maintain. Landscape fabric, even those with perforated holes, will limit the moisture and air from reaching the soil. Always keep a close eye on your plants after installing the landscape fabric, just to see if they are getting enough water.
