[Weed Control Sheet Construction Example] Earth Sheet - Weed Prevention Under Pavement

Case Study: Measures against Weeds Pushing Through Pavement Using Weed and Root Barrier Sheet "Earth Sheet"

◆Customer Concerns◆ - Weeds are thriving in the planting strip on the sidewalk, which is deteriorating the landscape and narrowing the walking space. Furthermore, visibility is also poor, potentially leading to accidents. - As a countermeasure, we had paved the planting strip with asphalt, but in areas where robust weeds were thriving, the weeds have broken through the asphalt. ◆Points for Sheet Selection◆ - We propose using "earth sheets," which are typically used under gravel. By laying the earth sheet beneath the sub-base layer before asphalt paving, we can prevent weed growth from below the pavement. - The earth sheet is made of polyester, which has a high melting point and can withstand the heat of asphalt. (Weed control sheets made of polypropylene or polyethylene with lower melting points will melt.) ◆Customer Feedback◆ - I thought that paving with asphalt would suppress weeds, but in reality, weeds were growing from various places, causing significant trouble. The method of incorporating a weed control sheet beneath the asphalt is relatively easy to implement, so I would like to continue using it in the future.
