But why cut corners and take these risks when there is a simple, cost-effective solution in the form of ground stabilisation geotextile fabrics<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Preparing your ground<\/h2>\n

Good preparation and planning is always key to creating a perfect landscape project. All hard landscape surfaces, such as gravel and paving, require solid foundations.<\/p>\n

First, you need to ensure the site is cleared of debris and any vegetation. The area should then be excavated to the correct depth to allow for sub-base and surface finish materials. At this point it should always be checked to ensure it is firm and level. Once this has been done, it\u2019s time to use a specialist geotextile fabric<\/a>, such as Groundtex from Growtivation\u2019s Product That Works range<\/a>. Rolled out onto the prepared sub-grade or formation level, this geotextile fabric serves to separate it from the next layer (referred to as the sub-base \u2013 often primary aggregate), prevent settlement and enable ground stabilisation.<\/p>\n

On stable ground<\/h2>\n

Strong woven geotextiles<\/a> have sufficient strength in them for groundwork and civil engineering applications, as well as being suitable for hard or soft landscaping schemes. Groundtex is a dual-purpose woven geotextile fabric<\/a> that can be used above ground as a weed suppressant and below ground, under MOT type 1 or 3 aggregate, making it tough enough to withstand pedestrian and vehicular traffic and prevent these aggregates sinking into the soil beneath.<\/p>\n

Despite being super tear resistant, quality geotextile fabrics will also allow moisture through where drainage is needed.<\/p>\n

Once the geotextile fabric has been installed, it is then simply a case of correctly spreading and compacting sufficient aggregate according to the engineer\u2019s specification, to achieve a stable and solid result.<\/p>\n

A ground stabilisation product that works<\/h2>\n

Part of Growtivation\u2019s extensive Product That Works range<\/a> of geotextile fabrics, Groundtex is a tough, multi-purpose woven fabric<\/a>, suitable for weed suppression and ground stabilisation. Excellent strength and tear resistance make Groundtex ideal for use in groundwork and civil engineering applications.<\/p>\n

Groundtex is available in a range of roll and pack sizes, from the Mini Roll at 1m x 15m to the Contractor Roll at 4.5m x 100m, which comes folded or unfolded.<\/p>\n
