What happens here
A durable geotextile fabric is laid over the compacted sub-base. The narrator points to this fabric, highlighting its role. This membrane acts as a separator, preventing the aggregate base from sinking into the softer native soil. It also functions as a weed barrier, inhibiting plant growth from underneath the patio.
Goal: Create a barrier between the sub-base and aggregate layers.
