Why Use Fabric Under a Driveway?

Installing geotextile fabric beneath gravel helps create separation between your aggregate base and native soil. This can help reduce gravel loss, improve stability, minimize mud pumping, and extend the life of your driveway.

It is especially useful in softer soils, wet areas, high-traffic driveways, and locations where gravel frequently sinks or mixes into the ground.
