Gardeneer Introduces Weed-Shield® with E-Z Grid™
For Easy Spacing of Plants


KNOXVILLE, Tn. (February 28, 2003) – Dalen Products, Inc. has introduced E-Z Grid™, a one-foot grid pattern that makes using Landscape Fabric easier than ever. The embossed gridline has been added to their 5-Year and 10-Year Weed-Shield® homeowner landscape fabrics.

"E-Z Grid™ is a quick-reference gridline for easy placement of plants," said Christine Taylor, Dalen’s director of marketing. "This product improvement makes it easier for the homeowner to space plants whether they’re adding to existing beds or designing new landscapes."

Shrubs and plants generally come with tags specifying how far to space plants. Weed-Shield® with 1-foot E-Z Grid eliminates the extra step of measuring between plants. No more need to find or carry a tape measure when planting.

E-Z Grid™ is permanently embossed into the fabric at one-foot intervals, both vertically and horizontally. This new feature is highlighted on the display box and pallet merchandiser for easy customer identification. The new 5-Year and 10-Year Weed-Shield® with E-Z Grid™ will be available in stores this spring.

Weed-Shield® Landscape Fabrics are used to control weeds in landscaped areas. Dalen offers an extensive line of materials and price points to fit every homeowner and commercial need. In addition to the new 5-Year and 10-Year Weed-Shield® with E-Z Grid™, Dalen also offers 20-Year Weed-Shield® PREMIUM and Weed-X® for ultimate weed protection. This dual-layer, patented material offers the industry’s only weed-free guarantee, and has been rated #1 in weed prevention by eight independent university tests since the product was first introduced in 1989. Professional Weed-X®, a heavier, commercial grade of Weed-X fabric, is also available and sold by independent retailers.

Knoxville-based Dalen Products is a leading manufacturer of landscaping fabrics, garden netting and fencing, scarecrow devices, decorative fencing and edging, birding, and other protective yard and garden products for use by both homeowners and landscapers.
