What type of tarp to choose?
To secure a slope and arrange it in the best conditions, opt for a tarpaulin type mulch. Laid on the ground before planting, the mulch canvas is in the form of a green or brown plastic tarpaulin.
- There is an entry-level product, a conventional mulching canvas, non-woven, 50 grams/ m². This basic has a good quality/ price ratio.
- For superior quality, choose woven polypropylene mulch fabric 86 g/m²: this canvas is more resistant and UV treated for a lifespan of about 5 years.

The advantages of plastic mulch canvas
Unlike natural mulching methods such as wood chips for example, the mulch cloth is firmly anchored in the ground thanks to the metal stakes. For a slope, it is therefore the ideal solution, without the risk of slipping.
It does not require any special maintenance: once installed, it prevents the settlement of the slope.
Save on watering costs! Mulching canvas is a permeable tarpaulin that allows the soil to breathe, penetrate water while limiting natural evaporation. A real anti-uv barrier, the mulch cloth blocks the sun’s rays and thus prevents the invasion of weeds.
Simple installation, quick attachment of the mulch on slope
Unroll the tarpaulin on a previously weeded and uniform ground, then fix the mulch with the metal stakes in the shape of U (every 70 cm approximately).
Mulching canvas is 100% compatible with your desires for beds and beds: to carry out your plantations, simply cut the mulching canvas where you want to plant your plants.
