This simple and low cost geotextile/geogrid system saved this residential acreage owner significant costs by allowing marginal subgrade quality and only 4 inches of topping. 3 inches of asphalt was placed on the topping and as the homeowner said after 5 years of service, “I could land a 747 on this driveway as it has handled large vacuum trucks for my ceptic pump-outs without any asphalt damage”. ECI’s skilled team of professionals provide practical advice for our smaller clients intent on building driveways that last.
