Heavily wooded landscape requires additional maintenance due to leaf fall. Leaves can be either blown off or vacuumed from Textraw which is installed with a coating of StayPut spray. (Such areas may be better designed with shade-resistant ground covers.)
Once natural needles intermingle with Textraw, they will stay intermingled. We recommend that Textraw not be installed under pine trees.
Textraw is heavier than pine needles, but lighter than water. Low-lying areas prone to flooding should use a heavier-than-water ground cover.
Textraw, which is installed along the drip-line beneath the eaves, effectively disperses rainfall, eliminating splash at the foundation and loss of soil. But use appropriate diverting methods for downspout flow, such as concrete pads or buried flex hose.
Parking area installations should be designed with consideration given to foot traffic. Walking on Textraw in no way damages it, but the use of stepping stones or equivalent footpaths will reduce product loss and migration due to foot traffic. Use of border edging in traffic areas is recommended.
