Product Information

Full details

The GroundTex Woven Geotextile is an essential solution for professional landscapers and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable, high-strength barrier for weed suppression and soil stabilization. By preventing the intermixing of soil and sub-base materials, this membrane ensures long-term structural integrity for driveways and paths; however, users should note that the woven texture requires sharp cutting tools to prevent fraying during installation.

FAQs

Can I drive over this membrane?

Yes, it is designed for both pedestrian and regular vehicular traffic when installed correctly under an appropriate sub-base.

Does this fabric allow water to pass through?

Yes, it is a permeable membrane, allowing surface water to drain into the soil while preventing soil migration.

How much should I overlap the edges?

We recommend an overlap of at least 150mm to ensure no gaps are left for weeds to penetrate.

Can this be used under decking?

Absolutely, it is an excellent choice for preventing weed growth under decking areas.

Does it need to be covered?

While UV-stabilized, it is intended to be covered by aggregates or paving for maximum lifespan and aesthetic purposes.

Troubleshooting

Fabric fraying after cutting

Use a sharp utility knife and consider sealing the edges with a heat gun or flame-based tool.

Surface sinking or rutting

Ensure the sub-base layer of aggregate is of sufficient depth and correctly compacted before finishing.

Water pooling on the surface

Verify that the subsoil has adequate drainage and ensure the membrane was laid flat without air pockets.

Pros and Cons

Superior tear and puncture resistance compared to non-woven alternatives
Prevents sub-base aggregate migration into the subsoil
Easy to cut and lay for various project shapes
Suitable for both light pedestrian and heavy vehicular traffic
Excellent long-term weed control properties

Cons

Woven edges can fray if not secured or heat-sealed

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ground Preparation: Remove existing vegetation and level the area to ensure a flat base.
Installation: Roll out the GroundTex membrane across the area, overlapping edges by at least 150mm to ensure total coverage.
Securing: Use heavy-duty landscaping pins or ground staples at 1-meter intervals to prevent movement before applying your chosen aggregate.
Cutting: Utilize a sharp, high-quality utility knife or heavy-duty scissors. Tip: You can singe the cut edge with a heat gun to minimize fraying.
Care: Ensure that sharp, jagged debris is cleared from the base before laying the fabric to avoid unnecessary stress points. The membrane is compatible with all standard decorative gravels, crushed stone, and paving aggregates.
