It’s all in the materials used to manage weeds and help erosion from occurring that makes the difference. Of course, the two are similar yet functionally different products for two general purposes: landscaping a garden bed free of weeds, or stabilizing large embankments. The time is taken to understand how such fabrics differ, where their functions can overlap, and how they should be installed.
Throughout this article, we’ll examine both materials in detail—taking inspiration from several leading discussions in landscaping and civil engineering. In particular, we’ll explore one important application: using Geotextile Fabric Under Gravel. This specific use case is essential for projects like driveways, walkways, and parking areas, where soil stability, drainage, and erosion control come together.
