Groundtex
 

Groundtex is a tough, woven geotextile membrane designed to provide long-lasting weed control while also helping to stabilise and separate ground layers. Widely used by professional landscapers and contractors, Groundtex is a reliable, multi-purpose solution for a wide range of outdoor applications.

When installed beneath surfaces, Groundtex helps suppress weed growth by preventing light penetration while still allowing water to drain freely. Its strong woven construction also reinforces weak or unstable ground, improving the durability and lifespan of paths, patios, and landscaped areas.

Groundtex is highly effective when used beneath rockeries, Type 1 sub-base, and decorative stone on pathways, borders, and patios. It is particularly well suited to areas exposed to regular pedestrian or vehicle traffic, where ground stability and surface performance are essential.

Groundtex – Weed Control Applications

• Under rockeries and landscaped features
• Beneath angular decorative stone and aggregates
• Under pathways, borders, and patios
• In areas subject to pedestrian or vehicle traffic

Groundtex – Ground Stabilisation & Separation

• Under gravel and decorative aggregates exposed to foot traffic
• Beneath Type 1 sub-base for patios and paths
• Helps prevent material mixing and subsidence

Durable, versatile, and easy to install, Groundtex is an essential landscaping membrane for professional-quality results

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

Groundtex for weed control

1. Prepare the area where the fabric is to be laid by strimming any existing vegetation down to ground level.

2. Remove any stalks or sharp objects that could pierce the fabric.

3. For areas badly affected by weed growth, apply a suitable weed killer.

4. Lay the GROUNDTEX fabric out and ensure joints are overlapped by a minimum of 100mm.

5. Secure using EXTRAFIX fixing pegs. The best way to secure the edges of the fabric is by ‘spitting’ or ‘trenching’ the fabric 100-150mm into the soil.

6. Cover the fabric with a layer of bark or other mulch or decorative stone/aggregates by a minimum of 50mm.

Groundtex as ground stabiliser

1. Excavate soil (sub-grade) to the required depth (allowing for sufficient depth of sub-base, base course layer and the surface finish e.g. block paviours, tarmac etc, including any base layer required for these – depths of each layer will vary depending on the intended use e.g. pedestrian/vehicle use, light/heavy use).

2. Lay GROUNDTEX fabric out and ensure joints are overlapped by a minimum of 300mm (overlaps should be kept to a minimum).

3. Secure using EXTRAFIX fixing pegs.

4. Lay sub-base layer over the fabric and compact using a compacting plate or roller.

5. Following installation of the sub-base, base layers (e.g. bedding sand for block paving) for the surface finish can be laid.

Extrafix fixing pegs are available for purchase separately.
