My son builds bridges and they use some really heavy duty weed block. He has brought me home a few "scraps" Their idea of a "scrap" is pretty big. I don't use it much but I put some down around certain features like my blue ball and along the walk where the big Spruce was making it a pain to mow. I think this scrap was about 3ft wide and 20+ft long. Here is an older shot where you can see the small grassy strip next to the walk. You have to use a hand mower run in under the Spruce to get the grass and there are always a few weeds growing up under those branches especially small seedlings planted by the squirrels. It always seemed to just look a bit messy.
