Use Landscape Fabric Under Gravel For Road Construction

Sandbaggy 8 oz Non Woven Geotextile Fabric is the perfect landscape fabric to use under gravel! Often used as an underlayment for parking lots, driveways and gravel roads, this fabric helps stabilize the soil as well as create a separating layer between the soil and aggregate.

In August 2021, a large farm in Oregon installed over 500,000 square feet of this Geotextile for their gravel road construction project.

Commercial Grade Fabric Lasts 50+ Years!

Sandbaggy commercial grade geotextile fabric is engineered to last up to 50 years! Just make sure this fabric is buried under at least 3 inches of gravel or mulch, or is buried under roads to keep it away from constant UV sun exposure.

Excellent Paver Underlayment Fabric

Installing Sandbaggy 8 oz Non Woven Geotextile under your pavers is critical to the success of your paver system. According to the ICPI (The Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute), they recommend installing a geotextile fabric under pavers in all clay soil applications. By separating the subsoil with the base material, this Geotextile helps strengthen the road base, while reducing the chance of the paver system failing.

This permeable fabric also allows water to flow-through the fabric, reducing water runoff during rainstorms. This industrial grade fabric is manufactured to be used under driveway pavers where large trucks and vehicles can run on it. 

Great for ALL paver/stone projects like:

• Driveways
• Patios
• Pool Decks
• Walkways
• Roads

Use Under Geocell

Use Sandbaggy 8 oz non-woven geotextile as a geocell fabric! Our fabric works great under geocells to provide additional support and stability to the structure. The geotextile acts as a barrier, preventing soil or other materials from shifting or settling underneath the geocell, distributing the load evenly across the structure. This improves the structure's overall strength and stability, reducing the risk of failure or collapse, and also filters out sediment and other contaminants from water flowing through the structure, maintaining the quality of surrounding water resources.

Erosion Protection

Protect your property against erosion with Sandbaggy 8 oz Non Woven Geotextile Fabric. This thick fabric absorbs and dissipates wave velocity so the underlying rock or sand is protected.

Rip Rap Underlayment

Non-woven geotextile fabric is a valuable choice for rip rap applications due to its specific characteristics. The fabric acts as a reliable separator, preventing the mixing of different materials and ensuring the proper placement and distribution of rip rap stones. Additionally, the non-woven geotextile fabric offers excellent filtration properties, allowing water to pass through while preventing the migration of fine particles, thereby maintaining the stability and longevity of the rip rap structure. Its high tensile strength and resistance to punctures further enhance the durability and overall effectiveness of the rip rap system.

Sandbaggy 8 oz Non Woven Landscape Fabric vs Home Depot

Check out just how much thicker, stronger, and more water permeable our landscape fabric is than Home Depot's.

Description

This Non-Woven Landscape Fabric will help you get your landscaping job done.

Fabric can never stop all weeds

Other competitors claim that no weeds can grow through their 'heavy duty' weed barrier fabric. This is false advertising.

No matter how thick the weed barrier fabric is, certain weeds are still strong enough to break through the fabric. Our recommendation is to use herbicides to kill the weeds or pull them out by hand when they grow through.

Sandbaggy's ground cover has built-in UV protection, is made from 100% virgin resin to provide additional strength, is laboratory tested to meet ASTM test methods, and has undergone pre-shipment inspection for irregularities.

Installation

When installing this landscape fabric, use a rubber mallet and gloves. Install staples 2-4 feet apart for secure fabric installation. Softer soils will require additional staples.

FAQ

What is non-woven geotextile fabric used for?

Non-Woven Geotextile Fabric is used for many applications including farming/gardening, french drains, landscaping, road stabilization, drainage installations, rip rap, retaining walls, and volleyball court construction. 

Woven vs non woven geotextile? Which is better woven or nonwoven geotextile? 

Nonwoven Geotextile - because nonwoven provides superior strength as well as water permeability (at least 100 GPM per sq ft). Meanwhile, woven fabric only provides superior strength but very little water permeability.

We sell both types of fabric because woven fabric is more economical compared with nonwoven fabric. 

What is nonwoven geotextile?

A Nonwoven Geotextile is a soft & thick felt like material that is made from millions of polypropylene fibers. Sandbaggy Non Woven goes through our proprietary manufacturing process that transforms millions of loose polypropylene fibers into strong and flexible nonwoven geotextile.

Does geotextile fabric let water through?

Only Non Woven Geotextile Fabric allows water to go through the fabric. Sandbaggy Non Woven Geotextiles allows 100 gallons per minute of flow-through every square foot of the material! Woven Geotextiles do not though.
