ABSTRACT:
A method for preventing the growth of vegetation around structures extending from the ground is disclosed. The method consists of providing a substantially flat, flexible mat of a polymeric material having a substantially uniform thickness. An aperture is provided in the mat so that the mat can be positioned around a structure extending from the ground. A slit may also be formed in the mat to facilitate the positioning of the mat around the structure. The mat has a substantial weight to prevent lifting of the mat from the surface around the structure without staking or securing the mat to the structure or ground. Because the mat has a low profile or thickness, mowers may be easily passed over the mat without damaging the mat or the mower.
