I used this as a base for my new driveway. My ground is mostly gumbo type dirt/mud. 4 years ago I installed the driveway but there were areas that just sank out of site when wet. I tried lime, Portland cement, even injecting bentonite. Nothing worked. Then I watched at our new senior housing development, how the construction crew put down fine red mats like this weed barrier then dumped 6 “ of limestone gravel on it as they backed over it while building the road. They completed construction on the buildings and then black topped it. They have had no problems with it. There have been several large moving semis on it and trash trucks and still no issue. On my driveway I have a couple of larger 40,000lbs delivery trucks I drive on my driveway and do far no issues like I experienced with my old drive. My driveway is 24’ wide almost twice as wide and on virgin ground the barrier has held up great. I know I’m not using it for the proper use but if it works and is 1/4th the cost of road underlayment. You can’t beat that.
