Underlay for stones (pebbles)

By Kirstyn

I want to put stones down in my garden under various fruit tree's. My Mother-In-Law is suggesting that this is not such a good idea as when the leaves fall of the tree's, this will in the long term cause weeds.
Now I understand that you would put, foe a better word, underlay undernaeth the stones. A colleague has said that there is a underlay with horizontal segments in it, like honeycomb, as an explanation of what I am looking for.
Does anyone know what this underlay is called, where i can get it and cost etc.

Why don't you go to b&q I got some ground cover there for 15 pounds, a little steep but does quite a big area. That's got tiny squares

Suggestion - buy bag of sand / cement mix and spread around base of tree,lay pebbles then water gently with fine rose on watering can.This will set 24-48 hrs form a crust weeds will not penetrate but not so thick that will restrict tree growth.As girth expands will push pebbles out.

The underlay you refer to is called Weed Suppressing Membrane...

also sometimes known as Weed Mat...
