FAQs

Can I use this for a driveway?

Yes, GroundTex is specifically designed for high-load applications like driveways and car parks.

Is this fabric permeable?

While it allows some water drainage, it is primarily designed for stabilisation and weed control, so it is less porous than lighter non-woven fabrics.

Does it need to be covered?

Yes, it should be covered with gravel, stone, or other aggregates to protect it from UV degradation and traffic wear.

Can I overlap the strips?

Yes, a 150mm overlap is recommended to ensure weeds do not grow through the seams.

Will this stop all weeds?

It provides a robust physical barrier against perennial weeds, though heavy weed seeds may still germinate in the top layer of aggregate.

Troubleshooting

Fabric fraying at the edges during cutting

Use a fresh, sharp utility knife blade and maintain constant pressure to create a clean, single-pass cut.

Membrane shifting during installation

Use more ground pegs to tension the fabric across the area before layering the aggregate.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent tear and puncture resistance
  • Prevents aggregate from sinking into the sub-base
  • Highly durable for high-traffic areas like driveways
  • Effective at inhibiting long-term weed growth
  • Supplied in a manageable 1m x 15m roll size

Cons

  • Material can fray if not cut with a sharp utility knife
  • Less permeable than non-woven alternatives
  • Fixed width of 1m may require overlapping for larger areas

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For best results, clear the surface of large debris, roots, and sharp objects before rolling out the membrane. Ensure a minimum overlap of 150mm if joining multiple strips to maintain a weed-proof barrier. Use plastic ground pegs to secure the fabric to the soil before adding your chosen aggregate. Once installed, the membrane requires no maintenance; however, ensure it is completely covered by the final surface material to protect it from direct, prolonged UV exposure, which can degrade any plastic-based fabric over many years.
