High-Quality Geotextile Solutions
Discover our premium geotextile fabric designed for durability, UV and puncture resistance, while promoting efficient water drainage. These qualities are essential for combating weeds, preventing mildew, and offering resistance against the effects of freeze-thaw cycles and decay. Our advanced nonwoven geotextiles enable the construction of robust foundations using less material, optimizing your project's efficiency and effectiveness.
The Advantages of Our Geotextile Solutions
BaseCore is your go-to source for superior quality non-woven geotextile fabric, ideal for agricultural, recreational, or equestrian applications. Leveraging the historical benefits of non-woven geotextiles in filtration and erosion control, our products, combined with BaseCore™ geocells, deliver unmatched benefits, enhancing the durability and functionality of your installations.
Geotextile Specifications
For those with a technical inclination, our geotextile fabric is crafted from 5.9oz per square yard of polypropylene (PET) fabric, needle-punched to a thickness of 1.6mm. It boasts exceptional strength, capable of withstanding up to 2246lbs of tensile force, and is UV resistant and puncture-resistant up to 404 lbs. Additionally, it facilitates a water flow rate of 62 gallons per minute per square foot, ensuring superior drainage.
Easy Installation Guide:
Preparing your site for Geotextile Fabric installation is straightforward, ensuring a swift and simple setup process. For extensive applications such as parking areas or arenas, it's crucial to roll the fabric across the entire designated area before the BaseCore™ panels are placed. Ensure all edges and seams between fabric sections overlap by approximately 8-12 inches to guarantee optimal performance and durability.

Erosion Control
Geotextile: The Ultimate Soil Companion
Address common soil issues like inadequate drainage, erosion, and unwanted compaction with our non-woven geotextile fabric. It's particularly effective in preventing the intermixing of different soil layers or materials, ensuring the stability and longevity of structures that endure significant weight loads, including roads, embankments, and equestrian arenas. By maintaining distinct material layers, our geotextile fabric significantly enhances base stability.
Frost Protection with Geotextile
Our geotextile fabric, akin to the material used for plant frost protection but considerably thicker, has been recognized by the US Army Corps of Engineers for its effectiveness in mitigating frost heave. This property is invaluable for preventing the formation of uneven surfaces and foundational issues due to temperature fluctuations and erosion.
