Brown Woven Mulch Fabric 100 g/m² 1.05m x 100m

Vilmorin Brown Woven Mulch Fabric 100 g/m² (Reference: VB01049) represents the ideal professional solution for all your landscaping projects. This high-performance fabric combines robustness, durability and efficiency to meet the demands of both landscape professionals and passionate gardeners. Made from superior quality woven polypropylene, it benefits from a UV-resistant treatment ensuring exceptional longevity even in the most challenging conditions.

Applications and benefits for your landscaping projects

This mulch fabric is suitable for numerous professional and domestic applications. It excels particularly in covering slopes and inclined ground where it ensures effective stabilisation while preventing erosion. For hedge planting, it is a major asset by eliminating competition from weeds during the crucial early years of development. Ornamental shrub beds also benefit from this protection, which considerably reduces manual weeding operations.

Nursery growers and landscapers particularly appreciate its ability to maintain a clean environment around plantings while preserving soil moisture. For private users, it offers an economical solution to drastically reduce green space maintenance while retaining a neat and professional appearance.

Technical specifications and innovation

The grammage of 100 g/m² of this fabric represents an optimal balance between mechanical resistance and permeability. This density provides an effective barrier against weeds while allowing the passage of water and air, essential elements for healthy root development. The polypropylene weave provides superior resistance to tearing and punctures compared to conventional plastic films.

The brown colouring is not merely aesthetic: it allows harmonious integration into the natural environment and reduces surface heating compared to black fabrics. The dimensions of 1.05 x 100 m offer a large coverage area (105 m²) particularly suited to large-scale projects. The 1.05 m width facilitates installation by reducing the number of overlaps required between strips.

The UV-resistant treatment integrated into the material mass guarantees lasting resistance to solar radiation, preventing the premature degradation and bleaching observed in untreated products. This protection allows a lifespan of several years even in direct exposure.

Installation and optimal use

Ground preparation is a fundamental step: level and loosen the soil, remove existing weeds and any sharp elements that could puncture the fabric. For a successful installation, unroll the fabric avoiding creases and tension it moderately without excess to preserve its flexibility.

Fixing is carried out using special staples, metal pegs or stones depending on the type of soil. Space fixing points 50 to 80 cm apart along the edges and create a 10 to 15 cm overlap between strips to prevent weed regrowth at the joints. For plantings, make cross-shaped incisions of an appropriate size then fold the edges inward to prevent tearing.

Maintenance is limited to periodic checking of fixings and occasional cleaning of organic deposits. At the end of the growing cycle or landscaping project, the fabric is easily removed and can be recycled through specialised channels.

Expert tips and optimisation

To maximise the lifespan of your fabric, we strongly recommend applying a layer of natural mulch at least 5 cm thick. Pine bark, pumice, wood chippings or volcanic stone are excellent choices that protect against direct UV radiation while enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the landscaping.

This fabric pairs perfectly with other products in our range: protective covers for winter periods, drip irrigation systems that can be installed under the fabric, or slow-release fertilisers to be incorporated before installation. Professionals appreciate its compatibility with mechanised planting tools.

A seasonal tip: install your fabric preferably in spring or autumn when moderate temperatures facilitate handling. Avoid frost periods which make the material more rigid and brittle. For windy regions, reinforce the peripheral fixing and opt for a heavier mineral mulch.
