Agri Weave Ground Cover
Our Agri Weave ground cover (also known as synthetic mulch, weed mat, or weed stop fabric) has been developed to prevent weeds, encourage water distribution and last longer under higher levels of southern hemisphere UV exposure. We’ve also developed a super reflective ground cover designed to enhance light reflectivity from the ground up.
