Ecomatt Degradable Weed Control Fabric Rolls provide a long-lasting and environmentally responsible solution for professional weed suppression, slope stabilisation, and large-scale planting projects. Manufactured in the UK from 100% recycled materials, this heavy-duty ground cover is engineered for forestry planting, woodland creation, farmland tree lines, conservation schemes, landscaping, and estate management. The fabric is needle-punched onto a durable polyethylene backing, creating a tough and permeable membrane that allows essential air and water to reach plant roots while retaining vital moisture during dry periods.

The Ecomatt Degradable Weed Fabric is designed for planting through, making it ideal for stabilising embankments, banks, and slopes where soil erosion and weed competition threaten young trees. By suppressing aggressive vegetation around the root zone, the fabric significantly improves establishment success rates for whips, transplants, hedging, and native woodland species. With a 2-season lifespan, the matting naturally degrades over time, removing the need for removal or disposal — a key benefit for farmers, foresters, landowners, and contractors managing large rural sites.

Available in multiple widths and weights, Ecomatt provides a robust, low-maintenance weed management solution suitable for rural infrastructure projects, shelterbelts, agroforestry schemes, biodiversity corridors, rewilding sites, and long-term planting programmes.
