FAQs

Can I drive a car over this membrane?

Yes, GroundTex is specifically engineered to handle vehicular traffic when installed correctly under driveways or car parks.

Is this fabric permeable?

Yes, the woven structure allows water and nutrients to pass through while preventing soil migration and weed growth.

How do I secure the membrane to the ground?

Use heavy-duty landscape staples or U-pins at regular intervals, particularly along overlapping edges.

Does the fabric need to be covered?

While it is UV-stabilized, covering the fabric with gravel, bark, or paving slabs will significantly extend its lifespan.

Can this be used for raised garden beds?

Yes, it is excellent for lining raised beds to provide drainage while keeping the soil contained and preventing weeds.

Troubleshooting

Fabric fraying at the edges during cutting

Use a sharp utility knife and consider heat-sealing the cut edge with a propane torch if the fabric is intended to stay exposed.

Weeds growing at the seams

Ensure a minimum 30cm overlap at all seams and secure them firmly with landscape staples to prevent weed intrusion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High tensile strength prevents tearing under heavy loads
  • Effectively prevents weed growth for low-maintenance landscapes
  • Ideal for structural stabilization in driveways and car parks
  • Resistant to puncture from jagged aggregate and stone

Cons

  • Edges may fray if not sealed or overlapped correctly
  • Requires professional-grade landscape staples for secure installation
  • Black color can absorb heat, which may affect sensitive plant roots if not covered sufficiently

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve optimal performance, ensure the installation site is cleared of sharp debris before rolling out the fabric. For driveway applications, overlap the seams by at least 30cm to prevent gaps. Secure the fabric using heavy-duty landscape staples at 1-meter intervals along the edges and overlaps. The membrane is compatible with most aggregate types, including crushed concrete and decorative stones. For cleaning or maintenance, simply ensure the top layer of mulch or gravel remains intact, as direct sunlight exposure should be limited for the longevity of the synthetic fibers.
