Plantra Weed Mats

Weeds and grass steal the light, water and nutrients your plants need for optimal growth. Mowing weeds does not reduce competition. For peak growth you need to eliminate weeds around your trees.

Plantra Weed Mats are the answer. Apply them once and your weed control is done – no repeated treatments year after year. These tough woven poly mats eliminate weeds for 3 to 5 years. Your seedlings get all of the light, water and nutrients your soil has to offer.
