Choose garden weed mat and landscape fabric that suppress weeds in Australian beds, paths and under raised planters — this Darrah Opens buying guide. JEV-partnered publishing; no price changes.

1. Size, overlap and pinning
Measure beds and paths, then add overlap at seams. Use landscape pins or staples on edges. Cut neat openings for established plants instead of lifting whole sheets.
2. Woven mats, geotextile and GSM
Lightweight woven weedmat suits veggie borders. Heavier geotextile under gravel driveways resists punctures. Check roll width so you minimise joins.
3. Raised beds, paths and gravel
Pair weed mat with raised garden beds, steel edging and gravel paths. Fabric alone rarely stops persistent runners without mulch depth and edge barriers.
4. Care and replacement
Rake mulch occasionally to check for tears. Patch holes promptly. Avoid herbicides soaking into fabric unnecessarily — mechanical control plus mat is usually enough.
