How to avoid weeds in your paver patio (part 4). #paverpatio #hardscape #diy
What happens here
The video emphasizes the importance of installing a thick layer of geotextile fabric, often referred to as weed fabric or landscape fabric, underneath the paver base. This fabric serves as a robust physical barrier that physically blocks any weeds from growing upwards from the sub-base soil through the paver structure. This method is also commonly applied when installing landscape stone to prevent unwanted vegetation.
Goal: Install a physical barrier to prevent weeds from growing through the paver system from the ground below.
