Geotextile for garden paths: the basis of reliability and durability
In modern landscape design, creating garden paths is not only a matter of aesthetics, but also of functionality. Proper preparation of the base determines how resistant the coating will be to loads, precipitation and changes in soil conditions. One of the key elements of the preparatory work is geotextiles. This material allows you to avoid deformation of the coating, delamination of the base and the germination of weeds, and also provides effective drainage.
Types of geotextiles for paths
Needle-punched geotextile is a material made of randomly arranged fibers that has high water permeability. It is ideal for arranging drainage systems and paths in areas with high humidity. It effectively drains moisture and prevents its accumulation under tiles or gravel, thereby extending the service life of the coating.
Thermoset, heat-treated geotextiles have a dense structure and high mechanical strength. They can withstand significant loads and are ideal for areas with hard soil or where garden equipment or vehicles regularly move along the paths.
How to choose geotextiles
For wet areas and areas with frequent rain, choose needle-punched geotextiles - they will provide reliable drainage.
For dense soil or areas with high loads, thermoset geotextile is better suited - it will stabilize the base and protect the path from subsidence.
If the path is being laid for decorative purposes, a lighter option is sufficient, but it is still worth paying attention to the quality and durability of the material.
