Maintaining installed Ground Covers requires very little effort compared to traditional open-soil gardening, making them an ideal choice for busy property owners. Periodically inspect the surface covering your Ground Covers to sweep away accumulated dirt, fallen leaves, or organic debris where windblown weed seeds might attempt to take root on top of the fabric. Check outer edges and seams occasionally to ensure that landscape staples remain firmly anchored into the ground and haven’t loosened. If a small tear occurs due to heavy equipment or sharp objects, patch the area promptly by placing a small piece of matching material over the damage and securing it in place. By keeping the surface relatively clean and intact, your high-performance Ground Covers will continue protecting your landscape and suppressing weeds efficiently for years to come.
