ArmorLay Commercial Grade Driveway Fabric 12.5' x 60'

Product Information

There are generally 3 classes of woven geotextile fabric that is used for both residential and commercial road applications these grades range from standard grade, then progress to intermediate grade and finally to the heavy duty grade class. The intermediate-grade driveway fabric is a good choice for residential gravel driveways as well as some commercial projects.

While heavy, they are small enough to be loaded into the back of a family van or truck without much hassle. One of the most frustrating parts about having a gravel driveway is when the soil or gravel shifts and leaves divots or holes in your driveway. The geotextile fabric is a barrier between the gravel and dirt, trapping appropriate moisture levels below. For a very long lasting gravel driveway install our fabric with Ground Grid which greatly reduces gravel migration. However, seeds dropped or blown on top of the membrane can still grow, and some weeds from underneath often make their way through the fabric layer.Keeping your gravel clean of short stems isn’t too tricky either – take a look at the laying instructions for your membrane and mulch before you set up the fabric across your garden soil. There is an inverse correlation to the strength and flow-through rate, with higher strength comes reduced flow rate. Gravel (as well as crushed brick or crushed shell) is a traditional path material found in formal gardens throughout Europe and Asia, and takes little skill to install. Laying landscape fabric under your decking is essential if it isn’t sitting on concrete or a solid surface.

BUILT TOUGH - Made with Industrial Grade 4 oz Woven Polypropylene, this Sandbaggy Fabric is the toughest in its class and is rated for 200 lbs of tensile strength. In specific environments, pests such as moles, gophers, squirrels, and chipmunks can wreak havoc on your landscaping by digging into the ground. As long as the fabric is buried with at least 3 inches of gravel, mulch, or under roads, and is away from any UV sun exposure, this fabric can last 50+ years. If surface erosion is a problem, a landscape barrier under your gravel can help reduce the running water's effects.Many runoff issues happen when using concrete or asphalt driveways but gravel driveways are well ahead of either. This is a great weed control fabric for driveways, since weeds will be unable to grow through the tightly woven polypropylene material. This process can cause rapid drying of the top layers of the soil and deprive your plantings of needed moisture. A separation and stabilization fabric layer below the driveway reduces the amount of gravel needed during the initial installation and required maintenance in the future.

Application: DrainTex is a standard nonwoven geotextile filter membrane with excellent drainage and filtration properties. A geotextile membrane helps stop weeds from growing in your driveway in the first place, which can reduce your need for herbicides. Having geotextile fabric under your gravel driveway will prevent you from continually needing to add more aggregate base to your road since the rock will drop into the subgrade layer. Gravel serves as a capillary break – the spaces between the gravel are too large for water to travel “up”. Some seeds will inevitably germinate and sprout, however having a weed block barrier will keep the roots from getting a foothold in the soil.Generally, the heavier the footfall (or if it’s a driveway), the more chance you will have of smaller pieces getting broken down.
