Description
Ground Cover is a high-strength, woven polypropylene weed-control fabric engineered for professional horticulture and landscaping applications. Its construction provides a stable root-suppressing barrier while allowing water and nutrients to pass through into the soil — supporting healthy plant growth.
With a tensile strength of 18/16 kN/m and a lightweight 100 gsm design, it combines durability, handling efficiency, and cost-effectiveness for farms, nurseries, estates, parks, mines, sports facilities, and residential gardens.
Integrated green gridlines assist with accurate plant-pot alignment and improved presentation in commercial setups.
This ground cover is UV-stabilised for prolonged outdoor exposure — ensuring long performance life across African environments with intense sunlight.
The fabric is also reusable for multiple growing seasons and 100% recyclable, supporting environmentally responsible land management.
