How It Works
Woven geotextile fabric creates a strong separation layer between the soil and the gravel above it. Without fabric, gravel can sink into soft ground over time, causing ruts, potholes, and extra maintenance. With fabric installed underneath, the gravel layer stays cleaner, stronger, and more stable.
- Prepare and level the soil surface.
- Roll out the woven geotextile fabric.
- Overlap seams as needed for full coverage.
- Add 3+ inches of gravel or aggregate on top.
- Compact the surface for a stable finished base.
Fabric Lifespan - 50+ Years
This fabric is built for long-term buried applications. When covered with at least 3 inches of gravel, mulch, or aggregate and protected from direct sunlight, it can last 50+ years depending on site conditions.

FAQ
What is woven geotextile fabric used for?
Woven geotextile landscape fabric is commonly used for soil stabilization and separation. It is often installed under gravel driveways, roads, parking areas, and aggregate surfaces to help prevent gravel from sinking into the soil.
Should I use woven or non-woven geotextile fabric?
Both woven and non-woven geotextiles are great for driveway and gravel applications, but they serve different purposes.
- Woven Geotextile: Best for stabilization and separation applications. Woven fabric helps prevent gravel from sinking into soft soil and is commonly used under driveways, roads, parking lots, and gravel pads.
- Non-Woven Geotextile: Best for drainage and filtration applications. Non-woven fabric allows more water flow and is commonly used for French drains, retaining wall drainage, and filtration systems.
Do I need geotextile fabric under a gravel driveway?
Yes, geotextile fabric helps improve driveway performance by keeping gravel separated from the soil below. This can reduce rutting, potholes, and the need to add more gravel over time.
How much gravel should go on top?
For best performance, cover the fabric with at least 3 inches of gravel or aggregate. More may be needed depending on traffic, soil conditions, and project requirements.
