If it aint compacted, get ready for a sinker.

What happens here

To further enhance the stability and load-bearing capacity of the base, a geogrid (a high-strength polymer mesh grid) is unrolled and carefully laid over the compacted crushed stone layer. The geogrid acts as reinforcement, preventing the aggregate from migrating and distributing weight more effectively, which reduces the potential for rutting and differential settlement over time. The video visually demonstrates the placement of this grid on the gravel base, highlighting its role in creating a robust foundation.

Goal: Add a reinforcing layer to the aggregate base for improved structural integrity.

Tools and materials

  • Measuring Tape — Measuring geogrid sections and overlaps
  • Utility Knife — Cutting the geogrid to size
  • Geogrid/Paver Grid N/A — Reinforcing the aggregate base to improve stability and load distribution
