If you’re considering using Easihold to stabilise decorative stones in your garden or outdoor space, you might be wondering if it also helps with weed control. Weeds can quickly spoil the look of a clean, tidy gravel surfaces, so it’s a fair question to ask.
In this blog, we’ll answer: Does Easihold suppress weeds? and offer tips on how to keep your surface looking its best.
Easihold Can Help Slow Weed Growth
Easihold is designed to bind loose stones together, creating a stable and low-maintenance surface. While this helps reduce the gaps where weeds typically take hold, it’s important to note that Easihold is not a dedicated weed killer or barrier.
That said, Easihold can help to slow the growth of weeds by limiting movement and reducing the amount of light and space available for weeds to grow between the stones.
For Best Results, Use a Weed Membrane
To achieve the most effective and long-lasting weed suppression, we always recommend installing a weed membrane beneath your decorative stones before applying Easihold. A membrane provides a physical barrier that blocks weed growth from underneath, while Easihold works on top to keep stones in place.
Together, they create a clean, tidy surface that’s:
-
Easier to maintain
-
Less likely to be disturbed by weeds
-
Visually polished and long-lasting
Easihold can help to slow weed growth, but for guaranteed results, it’s best used alongside a weed membrane. By combining the stabilising power of Easihold with a proper ground barrier, you can create a professional finish that stays neat and weed-resistant for longer
