As long as the fabric is buried with at least 3 inches of gravel, mulch, or under roads, and away from UV sun exposure, this woven landscape fabric can last 50+ years.

FAQ

What is non-woven geotextile fabric used for?

Non-Woven Geotextile Fabric is used for many applications including farming/gardening, french drains, landscaping, road stabilization, drainage installations, rip rap, retaining walls, and volleyball court construction. 

Woven vs non woven geotextile? Which is better woven or nonwoven geotextile? 

Nonwoven Geotextile – because nonwoven provides superior strength as well as water permeability (at least 100 GPM per sq ft). Meanwhile, woven fabric only provides superior strength but very little water permeability.

We sell both types of fabric because woven fabric is more economical compared with nonwoven fabric. 

What is nonwoven geotextile?

A Nonwoven Geotextile is a soft & thick felt like material that is made from millions of polypropylene fibers. Sandbaggy Non Woven goes through our proprietary manufacturing process that transforms millions of loose polypropylene fibers into strong and flexible nonwoven geotextile.

Will water drain through geotextile fabric?

Only Non Woven Geotextile Fabric allows water to go through the fabric. Sandbaggy Non Woven Geotextiles allows 100 gallons per minute of flow-through every square foot of the material! Woven Geotextiles do not though. 

Does landscape fabric allow water to drain?

It depends. Sandbaggy Non Woven Fabric allows water to drain through the fabric, but typical Woven Fabrics do not allow water to drain through. 

What’s the difference between landscape fabric and geotextile fabric?

Those two terms are used interchangeably in most contexts. Email us if you have a unique spec and we can make sure to help you out. 

Do I need Geotextile Fabric For A French Drain?

Yes, you need to use Non Woven Geotextile Fabric to be specific. The Non Woven part is key. If you use Woven fabric, water will not drain through the fabric and your french drain will fail. We recommend Sandbaggy 4 oz or 8 oz Non Woven Drainage Fabrics because both provide at least 100 GPM of water drainage. 

What can I use instead of geotextile fabric?

There unfortunately are no other alternatives. 

Can you make a French drain with just gravel?

No, because your soil will eventually mix with your gravel causing your french drain to fail. Using a Non Woven Filter Fabric is key in creating a separation layer between the soil and gravel keeping the gravel clean and allowing water to enter the perforated pipe. 

When should you use geotextile fabric?

We recommend using the geotextile fabric for Farming/Gardening, Landscaping, Road Stabilization, Drainage Installations (French Drain Fabric), Rip Rap & Retaining Walls applications.

Is geotextile fabric waterproof?

No. Geotextile fabrics are not meant to the waterproof. Sandbaggy Non Woven Fabric is engineered to allow water drainage through the fabric. 

How long does geotextile fabric last?

It depends on the manufacturer.

Sandbaggy Nonwoven Landscaping Fabric is engineered to last 50+ years! As long as the fabric is buried with at least 3 inches of gravel, mulch, or under roads, and away from UV sun exposure, this woven landscape fabric can last 50+ years. However, if the fabric is exposed to the sun the lifespan drops as low as one year.
