When Should You Use Weed Barrier Under Artificial Grass?

When you install artificial grass, you may not think you’ll have to deal with weeds. After all, you are covering up the native soil.  

Properly installed new or used artificial grass will indeed prevent weeds from growing through the turf’s backing.  

However, weeds can still push against the bottom of the artificial turf and disfigure it.  

Weeds are uncommonly good at finding ways to grow in unlikely places. Thankfully, there is a solution: use weed barrier fabric to prevent unsightly lumps and bumps in artificial turf projects.  

Although we recommend weed barrier in most cases, there are some situations where you should avoid installing it under synthetic turf.
