Apparently the matting retards the water drainage and causes flooding that carries away the mulch.
We discovered this the hard way of course.

Ivanhoe - I believe if you have weed matting anything, with the exception of rock will float. During the completion of a landscape job in my backyard we had a Florida downpour and sure enough, mulch floating like in a lake. Had the landscaper take out the matting I didn't want in the first place and have
no problem now. I have matting with rock in the front and have more weeds than in the rear with no matting and a good layer of mulch.
