String reinforcement is made up of rayon with three openings per lineal inch. This backing increases the strength of the squares and also increases the suppressing properties. Hemp is a natural, renewable and fully biodegradable resource that will break down in 3-4 years.

What material are the Tree Squares made of?

The Terrafibre Tree Squares are made from Canadian Grown Hemp Fibres. The mats also have a natural, biodegradable cellulose backing.

What sizes are the Tree Squares available in?

Currently our Tree Squares are available in 12” x 12”, 16” x 16” and 18” x 18”.

How thick are the Tree Squares?

The tree squares are ¾ inch to 1 inch thick. We use 1kg of hemp per square meter of matting.

Why is hemp a good choice for suppressing weeds and protecting tree seedlings?

Terrafibre Tree Squares protect seedlings from competitive weeds stealing light, nutrients, and moisture. The thickness and tight weave of the mat suppresses light and growth from below while still allowing moisture to penetrate.

How long do the Tree Squares take to biodegrade?

The Tree Squares are 100% biodegradable and estimated to take 3-4 years to break down, providing your tree seedling with protection prior to biodegrading.

Why do tree squares take longer to break down than grow mats?

We use a thicker and more dense weave. As well, with the mats sitting on top of the soil as opposed to being mixed in it, it doesn’t bread down as fast.We use a thicker and more dense weave.
