Larry DeWitt started his own landscaping business in Sikeston, Missouri, soon after earning degrees in horticulture and landscape design. In 1977, he was looking for a material to stop weeds and increase plant growth - without chemicals. Black plastic used to be a landscaper's only option. From hands-on experience, he knew that while plastic stops weeds, it also blocks out moisture and air. The result: disease, fungus, and rot.

Unsatisfied, Larry decided to create something better. He experimented with textiles and materials until finally hitting pay dirt. He discovered that woven polypropylene did everything he wanted, and his new "landscape fabric" - later dubbed DeWitt Weed-Barrier® - changed the professional landscaping industry.

 

Pros quickly realized what an outstanding product DeWitt Weed-Barrier® was. It halted weed growth and promoted tremendous plant growth. The industry couldn't get enough. As a result, DeWitt products are used in more than 70% of the commercial landscaping done throughout the United States, making the company the #1 Choice of Landscape Professionals.
