Covertex™

Hy-Tex Covertex™ ground cover is an extremely versatile landscaping and horticultural fabric for long-term weed control, moisture conservation and separation.

Covertex™ is a premium grade woven membrane designed to offer the optimum balance between shade and permeability; and has a high degree of UV stabiliser added to protect it from the harmful effects of exposure to sunlight.

Covertex™ ground cover has gained wide recognition for it's unrivalled quality and performance, and is the preferred choice of leading consultants and contractors.

The extra dense black tapes of our fabric effectively block out sunlight from the underlying soil, while the superior weave quality provides a physical barrier that resists penetration.

Starved of light, weed seedlings under the fabric suffer from "etiolation" (The state of vegetation grown in the dark with little or no chlorophyll) and soon die. Any surface growing weeds that occur from airborne seed are much easier to remove, because their roots are unable to anchor into the ground. By using Hy-Tex’s Covertex™ ground cover it will dramatically reduce the costs and time involved in maintenance, and minimises undesirable herbicide use.
