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.
