Weeds & Pest Protection Options

Also, if you live in an area with high gopher activity, making sure these underground critters don’t damage your synthetic lawn is also a good idea. Hardware cloth can help keep Gophers from digging up through the grass. Install the hardware cloth in the middle of the base fill. Our Installation gives you options to install and prevent weed overgrowth and pest infestation with our Weeds & Pests Protection Cloth.

Weed Barrier Cloth

Weed Barrier cloth is designed to prevent weeds from growing inside your artificial turf and still allows for proper drainage. If your priority is to prevent weed growth in your yard, this fabric will fit perfectly underneath your synthetic grass. Weed Barrier cloth is a spun-bond polypropylene fabric with a hydrophilic treatment that allows more air and water to pass through, thus preventing sunlight and nutrients from reaching the places weeds tend to grow.

• Minimizes light penetration – suppresses weed growth and prevents weed-seed germination.
• Safe and easy to install
• Suitable for use in flower beds, under walkways, greenhouses, under decks, under artificial turf, and much more
• It comes in a 6’x 300’ Roll.

Gopher Mesh

Choosing the correct Gopher Mesh is very important. Using a typical chicken/poultry wire or aviary fence is not intended to be buried and will fail in a short period of time. Can use chicken wire, but why invest and install a product that will not last?

We prefer to install a galvanized gopher mesh or hardware cloth with a mesh size of 1/2”x1/2”. We find this ideal because the openings are small and stiff enough to prevent gophers from gaining access to the surface. If they decide to travel to the surface, they will bump their heads on the wire and move along.

Please note that the Gopher Mesh does not inhibit the gophers from burrowing and making their tunnels underneath your artificial grass system. It only helps prevent them from penetrating the surface. Gophers have also been known to chew through the mesh in some cases. Although rare, it has happened. With that said, your artificial grass could experience undulations, dips, or sinkholes due to the tunnels left by the Gophers.
