Coco Coir Liners
A Natural Alternative to Landscape Fabric

What Are Coco Coir Liners?
Coco coir liners are made from the fibrous husk of coconuts—a renewable byproduct that’s gaining popularity in sustainable landscaping. While often used in container gardening and hanging baskets, coir liners can also be laid flat as a natural weed barrier, replacing plastic sheeting, newspaper, or synthetic landscape fabric.

 

At Electric Lawn Company, we champion solutions that support soil health, reduce waste, and perform beautifully over time. Coco coir liners check every box.

​

Why Switch from Plastic or Fabric to Coco Coir?
Traditional landscape fabrics—especially plastic sheeting—may seem like a simple fix for weed control, but they often create more problems than they solve. These materials can:

• Trap moisture in ways that promote mold and mildew

• Prevent beneficial microbes and insects from thriving

• Break down into microplastics or contribute to landfill waste

• Become brittle, exposed, or unsightly over time

• Coco coir liners, by contrast, are 100% biodegradable, breathable, and gentle on your landscape.

​

The Benefits of Coco Coir Liners
✔ Natural Weed Suppression
Coco coir creates a dense mat that blocks sunlight from reaching the soil, effectively preventing weed growth—without chemicals or synthetic barriers.

✔ Soil-Friendly and Breathable
Unlike plastic, coir allows air, water, and nutrients to pass through—supporting healthier soil and root development below the surface.

✔ Biodegradable and Eco-Conscious
Coco coir breaks down slowly over time, adding organic matter to your beds instead of becoming waste.

✔ Easy to Install and Maintain
Flexible and lightweight, coir liners can be cut to fit beds, borders, and custom shapes without fraying or unraveling.

✔ Cleaner Appearance
Coir has a naturally attractive, earthy texture that blends seamlessly into flower beds, raised gardens, and other landscaped areas—far more pleasing than exposed black plastic or worn-out newspaper.

Real-World Performance
We’ve incorporated coco coir liners into a wide range of landscaping projects—from native garden beds to modern perennial borders. Time and again, they’ve proven to be a durable, low-maintenance solution that improves soil health while keeping unwanted weeds in check.

​

Safer for Pets and People
Because coco coir is free from synthetic dyes and chemical treatments, it’s safe for kids, pets, and pollinators. Unlike plastic edges that can crack or curl, coir softens and settles into place over time, creating a safer and more natural-looking space.
