It is a permeable fabric placed between the ground and whatever you are going to install on top, whether it is artificial turf or decorative gravel. <\/p>\n\n<p>Its mission is simple: <strong>to block the passage of weeds while allowing water drainage<\/strong>. Unlike closed plastic, this mesh allows rain to pass through and prevents puddles, but <strong>it does not allow roots or shoots to break through from below<\/strong> because it blocks out the sun. <\/p>\n\n<p>In <strong>gardens<\/strong> with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jardinartificial.es\/cesped-artificial\/\"><strong>artificial turf<\/strong><\/a>, it prevents weeds from appearing by surprise. And in gravel or decorative areas&#8230; it is practically essential. <\/p>\n\n<p>If you use it, you will enjoy the following <strong>benefits<\/strong>: <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Less maintenance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fewer surprises<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Greater peace of mind<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cuando-deberias-usarla-y-cuando-no-hace-falta\"><strong>When should you use it? (And when is it not necessary) <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p><strong>Always use it when working on soil, sand, or natural ground.<\/strong> It does not matter if it is a garden, a pool perimeter, a gravel path, or a ground-level terrace. In those cases, it is <strong>essential<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<p>And when is it not? Well, if you have a consolidated hard floor, such as concrete, stone, or tiles, <strong>you do not need it<\/strong>. That type of surface already performs the blocking function.  <\/p>\n\n<p>If the ground is natural, a weed barrier is not optional. It is common sense. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-como-colocar-la-malla-antihierba-paso-a-paso-sin-complicaciones\"><strong>How to install a weed barrier step by step (without complications)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"schema-how-to wp-block-yoast-how-to-block\"><p class=\"schema-how-to-description\">There is no mystery here, but we do advise you to follow an order when laying the weed barrier:<\/p> <ol class=\"schema-how-to-steps\"><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1779361360608\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\"><strong>Prepare the ground<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Remove all weeds, roots, and stones&#8230; and leave the surface level and compacted.
