Installation

Your driveway area should be rolled or levelled to provide a uniform surface where this non-woven geotextile fabric will be laid. Roll out the driveway fabric avoiding wrinkling but allowing it to follow the contours of the ground. Where wrinkles appear, it shows that the driveway fabric isn’t taught enough to provide the best protection. You can hold the membrane in place, suitably tensioned, with weights or heavy duty bags of sand (or equivalent).

Lay the geotextile along the direction of the travel of the driveway, overlapping the fabric where the length or width isn’t enough from a single pass.

Do not drive directly over the geotextile fabric. The fill material should be tipped on from one end and be blade levelled over the complete area. You should have at least 300mm of fill on top of the fabric before any vehicle levelling takes place.
