inveresk said:I used fabric for my driveway. Here it's fairly heavy clay and it pumps through road base in time if fabric isn't used. I bought mine direct from Nilex (Geosynthetics - Nilex) which saved some money and they also helped with the spec. for the fabric.
Spec. for the road was gravel topping on about 4 inches of clean pit run over 8 or so inches of overs laid on the fabric. Needed about 8 - 10 inches of excavation to strip off topsoil before the fabric went down.
Road has performed great this past year - hasn't budged even though we've had a lot of construction traffic up it.
