I am familiar with all of those materials. I agree that they are all different 
(landscaping paper, farming plastic, weedblocker, tyvek house moisture 
barrier). I use all of them at my house. 

This is something different. Something very very thick (2-3mm!) , made with tar 
or other marital that is fairly stiff yet rollable, and has a opaque, coated, 
impermeable surface - very similar to the tarpaper I use as a moisture 
barrier/underlay on roofing - yet is commonly used as a kind of functional 
landscaping cover in industrial / transportation places (traffic islands, etc) 
where weeds would be bothersome. 

And as far as I can tell, it is manufactured for this exact purpose (with 
accessories and standardized installation techniques) for it, not simply 
repurposed roofing tarpaper used in a different manner - so it must have a 
unique name of some kind.
