What Is Geotextile Fabric & Do You Need It?

Geotextile fabric is a permeable textile used in landscaping to separate soil from base materials. It helps prevent base contamination, improves drainage, and increases the long-term stability of patios, walkways, and retaining walls.

When to use geotextile fabric:

• Soft or clay-heavy soils

• Areas with poor drainage

• High-traffic patios and driveways

• Retaining walls to separate soil from drainage stone

Geotextile fabric works best when paired with proper base preparation (3–12 inches of compacted granular base, depending on application).
