What are these blue “lawn fabrics” that the previous homeowner used?

    Looks to me like they reused an old pool liner from an above-ground pool.

    Possibly could have been grass barrier to prevent grass from growing in landscaping

    I’ve dug out blue tarps before. Disgusting

    Any indication what they were trying to use them *for*?

    Dig them all out and throw them away. I had a house that was “landscaped” like this by the previous owner. It was a battle but you’ll eventually find it all.

    Thank your lucky stars it’s not a tarp

    If it is a pool liner that technically is a form of “recycling”

  8. The house we moved into had an inground pool that was apparently filled in. Amongst a ton of other construction debris we found in our yard, there was pool liner. Broken into a million pieces and impossible to get out of the ground. I curse whoever decided to just throw it there instead of properly dispose of it.

    Does anyone else see a cartoon bulldog in the lower right hand corner?

    Someone else’s bad decision that has now become yours to fix. Out of our backyard, we’ve pulled out shingles, no less than two layers of thick black plastic sheeting, netting, fabric — not to mention hunks of concrete, pavers, bricks, etc. The weeds were on top of, between, and under them all — persistent little buggers. For those in the back: “weed barriers” — like almost any “quick fix” — are more work for you now and later. And for anyone thinking of leaving (or planting) goutweed or lily of the valley, DO NOT DO IT. Their little white flowers will lull you into thinking they’re innocent. They are not friends. They are pests. Root them out.

    Worry less about the lawn fabric and more about the bodies that are under it.
