Product Information

Full details

The GroundTex Woven Geotextile is designed for professional landscapers, civil engineers, and contractors seeking a heavy-duty solution for weed suppression and soil stabilization. Its primary strength lies in its high tear resistance and durability, making it an excellent base for driveways and commercial projects; however, because it is a tightly woven fabric, it may offer less permeability than non-woven needle-punched alternatives when used in areas requiring rapid water drainage.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this membrane permeable?

Yes, it is porous enough to allow water to pass through, though it is less permeable than non-woven needle-punched alternatives.

Can I drive over this membrane?

Yes, GroundTex is designed for vehicular traffic provided it is installed beneath an appropriate depth of stone or gravel aggregate.

Does it need to be covered?

Yes, for maximum longevity, it should be covered with stone, mulch, or decorative aggregate to protect it from UV radiation.

How do I cut the fabric?

Use a sharp utility knife or heavy-duty shears. For cleaner cuts, you can melt the edges slightly with a heat gun to prevent fraying.

What is the roll weight?

Due to its professional-grade nature, it is a heavy-duty product; ensure two people are available to handle the 2-meter wide roll during installation.

Will this stop all weeds?

It provides a robust physical barrier that effectively blocks most weed growth; however, weeds may occasionally sprout in mulch placed on top of the fabric.

Troubleshooting

Fabric slipping during installation

Increase the number of landscape staples used and ensure they are placed every 50-80cm along the seams.

Water pooling on the surface

The fabric is tightly woven; ensure the ground has a slight gradient for drainage and consider using a top layer of angular aggregate to facilitate better runoff.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional tear and puncture resistance
  • Prevents sub-base migration in driveways
  • Blocks invasive weeds effectively
  • Durable enough for vehicular traffic
  • Large roll format reduces seam overlap requirements

Cons

  • Lower water drainage rate compared to non-woven fabrics
  • Requires significant weight or staples for proper anchoring
  • Less flexibility when conforming to irregular, tight landscape contours

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the ground is cleared of large, sharp debris before rolling out the membrane. Overlap adjacent sheets by at least 150mm to ensure complete weed coverage, and secure the edges using high-quality landscape staples or ground pins. Avoid dragging heavy machinery directly over the fabric before the aggregate layer is applied. If storing unused material, keep it rolled and sheltered from direct sunlight to prevent UV degradation of the polypropylene weave.
