What happens here
The narrator pulls back a black geotextile fabric to reveal the underlying permeable foundation. He explains that this base consists of compacted drainage stone, which is crucial for allowing water to flow through the driveway and into the subsoil, preventing runoff. This permeable design supports the eco-blocks while ensuring proper drainage.
Goal: Learn about the components and function of the permeable base.
Tools and materials
- Geotextile fabric — Separating the base layers and preventing material migration
- Compacted drainage stone — Creating the permeable and stable foundation for the eco-blocks
