weed barrier

Blocks unwanted growth

A weed barrier is a sheet of material—fabric, plastic, or paper—laid on soil to suppress weed growth while allowing water and air through.

Gardeners place it around desirable plants, often covering it with mulch: I put down weed barrier before spreading the gravel.

Also called landscape fabric or weed cloth.
