Fabric Installation

Geotextile stabilization fabric can be extremely beneficial in certain conditions.  Fabric is commonly used when:

• the base is soft
• mud pumping exists
• the driveway is sinking
• the soil is unstable
• material contamination is occurring
• additional structural separation is needed

The purpose of fabric is to help separate the aggregate from the underlying soil while improving stability and reducing material loss into soft ground.

Not every driveway requires fabric. In some situations, proper grading and compaction are more important than fabric alone.

The right solution depends on the condition of the existing surface.
