What it is
A 6-foot by 300-foot roll (1,800 sq ft) of the same woven polypropylene we sell in the 4'×100' size. The contractor roll. Bigger sheets, fewer seams, lower cost per square foot.
What it's for
Multi-bed installs, commercial work, or any project where you're covering more than ~800 sq ft of fabric in one weekend. Common uses:
- Whole-yard mulch beds — new construction or major refreshes covering 1,500+ sq ft.
- Commercial property edges — apartment complexes, office building beds, HOA common areas.
- Long gravel paths or DG patios — fewer seams to overlap means a cleaner install and less labor.
- Multiple French-drain runs — wrap several drains from one roll without trimming the small roll constantly.
The 6-foot width also matters: most beds are wider than 4 feet, so the small roll needs an overlap seam through the middle. The 6-foot roll usually doesn't.
When to buy this vs the small roll
| Project size | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Under 400 sq ft | Small (4'×100') |
| 400 - 1,000 sq ft | 2-3 small rolls or 1 contractor roll |
| Over 1,000 sq ft | Contractor roll — about 30% cheaper per sq ft |
| Multiple jobs over a season | Contractor roll for the truck |
Most pros keep one of these on the truck through the spring install season. It pays for itself in three installs.
How to use it
Same as the small roll: overlap seams 6 inches, pin with landscape staples every 4-6 feet, cut around existing plants with an X-cut. Mulch or rock goes on top at full depth (3" for mulch, 3" for decorative rock).
Don't lay fabric directly on actively growing aggressive weeds (Bermuda, nutsedge). Glyphosate or hand-pull first.
Buying tips
- Heavy roll — about 75 lbs. We'll load it into your truck bed.
- Store leftover roll out of UV. The polypropylene degrades in long-term sun exposure.
- For an under-rock install on a high-traffic path, double the fabric — two layers crisscrossed. Last as long as the rock.
