Product Information

Full details

The GroundTex Woven Heavy Duty Membrane is an ideal solution for professional landscapers and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable, high-strength fabric for weed suppression and soil stabilization. Whether you are constructing a new driveway, a garden path, or a large-scale civil engineering project, this membrane excels at separating aggregate layers and preventing unwanted vegetation growth. While its heavy-duty construction makes it exceptionally durable under vehicular loads, the thick woven material requires sharp, clean cutting tools to ensure precise installation without fraying.

FAQs

Can this be used under a driveway with cars?

Yes, the heavy-duty woven nature of this fabric is designed for vehicular traffic and sub-base stabilization.

Does this fabric allow water to pass through?

Yes, while it acts as a solid physical barrier for weeds and soil, it remains permeable enough to allow for drainage.

How much should I overlap the sheets?

We recommend an overlap of at least 150mm to 300mm to ensure consistent coverage.

Can I use this for a vegetable patch?

While it is a weed control fabric, its heavy-duty woven construction is better suited for hard landscaping and ground stabilization rather than temporary garden beds.

What tools do I need to fix it in place?

You can use U-shaped landscaping staples or fixing pegs to secure the membrane to the ground until it is covered with aggregate.

Troubleshooting

Fabric is fraying when cut

Use a new, sharp utility knife blade and maintain a steady, firm pressure to ensure a clean cut.

Weeds appearing at the edges

Ensure that seams are overlapped by at least 150mm and that the edges are tucked or secured firmly against borders.

Surface feels unstable after installation

Check that the sub-base material (like MOT Type 1) is properly compacted and that the membrane was laid flat without large air pockets underneath.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High tear and puncture resistance
  • Excellent for structural separation in groundworks
  • Durable enough for vehicular traffic areas
  • Provides long-term weed control
  • Easy to roll out and position on site

Cons

  • Requires very sharp tools for clean cuts
  • Less permeable than non-woven alternatives
  • Fixed width of 1m may require multiple strips for wide areas

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, clear the area of sharp debris and level the ground surface. Roll out the membrane, overlapping edges by a minimum of 150mm to ensure full coverage. If installing on sloped ground, use U-shaped fixing pegs to hold the fabric in place before covering it with your chosen aggregate. For best performance, avoid leaving the membrane exposed to direct UV light for extended periods before covering it, although the material is designed to be robust. Always use a fresh, sharp utility knife to cut the material to size to prevent fraying along the edges.
