hi I'm genus amarrado of the San Marco

you know what even when you design
landscapes professionally like I do
every once in a while you miss a step
that you wish you would remember earlier
on underneath this deck you can see we
have all of this landscaping lock when
scraping rock is a great way to keep
drainage at a minimum keep the water
flowing prevent weeds etc
except if you forget to put the
landscape fabric like I did you can see
we've got a lot of weeds here that we're
going to have to address and taking out
the weeds the first time is easy enough
keeping them from coming back is the
more difficult part and that's what i
want to show you today
landscape fabric is a very lightweight
mesh
it's not biodegradable so once it goes
down you've got it there for good
i'm going to show you with just a small
square how it's done although when you
do this on larger areas you can buy it
in a roll and you would use a hard break
to move your soil and stone out of the
way for today's purposes i have a little
hand tool here
you just want to pull this down away
exposing the soil underneath
you don't have to lift out weeds they're
already in existence because they're
going to disintegrate with the fabric on
top of it and with a light application
of herbicide when you're done you would
put the fabric down you could hold it
down with on the corners when you're
doing larger sections with some stones
was your working once it's down it's
really all that simple
you would just move the stone break the
stone back on any little weeds that are
they're the easiest way to take care of
those is with an application or ground
up or another herbicide you could pull
them out by hand
the bigger idea with putting down this
fabric under your stone is that you're
not going to get new weeds and that's
going to make all the difference in
maintaining your landscape long term

good luck with your next gardening
project
