Waterproof Geotextile

Have you ever been scratching your head in the gardening aisle, trying to figure out whether to use geotextile or landscape fabric? Trust me, you’re not alone! These two materials may look like they’re cut from the same cloth, but they actually have different benefits and serve different purposes.

Geotextile, as the name implies, is made of non-woven fabric. It is mainly used to reinforce the foundation. Geomembrane, made of high-density polyethylene, is mainly used for anti-seepage.

Geotextiles are permeable geosynthetic materials crafted from synthetic fibers through weaving or non-woven processes. Typically, they come in the form of fabric-like rolls, usually measuring between 4 to 6 meters in width and 50 to 100 meters in length. There are two main types of geotextiles: woven and non-woven.
