Product Information

While some may argue that very solid soils such as clay provide just as good a base as gravel, they still do not provide adequate drainage. Depending on the type of grass you have, this could be a huge problem or a slight inconvenience that trimming the edge of your lawn could fix. Quick and easy to install, our gravel grids create a firm, free-draining gravel surface that makes walking, cycling, and parking your car easy.

EARTHWORX NW1000 is a quality geotextile fabric, manufactured from 100% polypropylene fibres to a high specification, which makes it suitable for demanding civil engineering projects particularly those with areas subject to a large volume of vehicular traffic and large imposed loads. The proper method is to dump the stone onto the stabilized fabric then push it into the fabric for protection. Woven geotextile fabrics are a better choice than non-woven and traditional landscape fabrics for these reasons. The standard grade fabric is the most common woven landscape fabric for residential gravel driveways. They are less expensive than heavy-duty landscape fabrics but these fabrics do not have the strength or drainage of heavy-duty.In this article, when I reference gravel, I’m referring to crushed rock between ¾” and 1” in diameter – roughly. Prior to digging into the 'How To's" of installing driveway fabric, let's start with a couple commonly asked questions by homeowners regarding fabric for driveway or paving installations.

These non-woven fabrics allow water and air to pass through easily and can help promote drainage and plant growth. Gravel that is larger than 1” can be difficult to compact and could be too porous for some types of concrete. As you can probably tell by the name, heavy-duty fabric is the most durable and strongest of the woven landscape fabrics. For the average driveway, laying down a geotextile fabric layer before adding gravel on top should only take a few hours. While you’re at it, throw some rigid foam and vapor barrier on top for added protection of your investment.As people drive and walk on your driveway, the fabric will help more uniformly compact the ground to prevent ruts and divots from forming.

Gravel helps with drainage so it plays an important role in preventing water from seeping into areas where you do not want it to land, including nearby building foundations. We recommended them to add a layer of Sandbaggy Woven Geotextile which will immediately stabilize the ground. Aggregate Driveways have become very popular due to needing very little maintenance and the costs are much lower than asphalt or concrete.It effectively separates different materials, ensuring the stability and proper distribution of rip rap stones. You do not want a high-profile or edge along the sides, a slightly concave or humped concrete curb will reduce gravel traveling out of the driveway.
