Geotextile fabrics can be used for a variety of applications to improve the longevity and functionality of a landscape. Knowing whether to use a woven or non-woven geotextile membrane is vital. Here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n
Ensuring a landscape is suitably drained eliminates the risk of all the hard work being ruined by waterlogging. Using a permeable geotextile fabric means water can filter through and return to the natural water cycle.<\/p>\n
Although woven geotextile membranes are permeable, they are unsuitable for drainage purposes as they do not have the correct properties to sufficiently drain water. Instead, woven geotextile fabrics like Groundtex are used to suppress weeds while allowing some water to filter through, which avoids puddles forming on the surface.<\/p>\n
Using a geotextile fabric for ground stabilisation is crucial for spreading the force of a load imposed upon a sub-base layer. This ensures the finished application, whether that be a patio or driveway, remains intact while being subject to vehicular or footfall traffic.<\/p>\n
Both landscape and geotextile fabrics are suitable for weed suppression. However, other factors need to be considered when deciding which one to pick.<\/p>\n
