When covered with at least 2 to 3 inches of gravel or mulch (which shields it from UV exposure), it can remain effective for many years. Exposed installations have a shorter lifespan, typically 3 to 5 years depending on sun intensity and climate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike lighter consumer-grade non-woven fabrics, the 4.2 oz\/yd² weight of this fabric resists tearing during installation and holds up under the weight of stone and gravel without compressing or clogging over time. It is not typically removed and reused between seasons in the way a lighter woven fabric might be, as it is designed for permanent or semi-permanent ground installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"editorial-callout editorial-callout--note\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"editorial-callout__label\"\u003eInstallation note\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"editorial-callout__body\"\u003eClear all existing weeds before laying the fabric.
