Geotextile fabric between gravel layers (driveway repair)

   / Geotextile fabric between gravel layers (driveway repair) #11  
My experience has been finding roots growing right through the fabric
there are quite a few type of fabric... but at the same time weeds also eventually grow through vaper barrier... everything has a life expectancy

Nothing is going to stop weeds growing up. Every rain, every day more trash will get in the rock and in no time, you will have weeds and grass growing in the rock. Spray and kill.

My stupid opinion is it will work if you put 3-4 inches of compactable material on top of old gravel but will not work if you only do 1-2” on top of fabric or use something that stays loose. And yes weeds will grow through it eventually as Mike says.

Or apply pre-emergent herbicide a couple times a year.

Is that the same as using soil sterilizer?
It’s an herbicide product that prevents seeds from germinating. It doesn’t kill existing plants, just prevents seeds from growing.
