Laying geotextile weed suppressant fabric

[EdF_uk]

Hi everyone,



I’m going to be laying sub base for the patio soon and have woven geotextile fabric to put down beneath it. Ideally I’d like to knock in some pegs at the required sub base height at various points to help me gauge levelling etc but that will mean the fabric will have holes in it. Is this OK?


Any thoughts/guidance appreciated.



cheers,



Ed

Don't bother with the membrane, it's just needed to stop the layers mixing but if the ground is stable and not sopping wet, and it's got paving stones on top and you're not driving heavy vehicles around then nothings going to mix anyway.

Yeah, don't bother. Not needed below paving, OK if you are planning an avant-garde gravel patio.

Avant-Garde gravel sounds interesting. I think I might be having one of those as well.
