I put together a playground for my kids in the back with rubber mulch for protection, I needed landscaping fabric to go under the mulch to help with weed control. This fabric worked great, it was easy to put down and looked good. We had a lot of rain fall during the time it took me to build the play-set and the fabric did a great job allowing the water through. I was on and off the fabric for over one week while completing the build of the play-set and the fabric held great, not even one tare. I do recommend this landscape fabric, it works great. LK
