CountyMaterials is an unknown quantity at this point
Paponte -

There is a company called SRW Products that makes a product called SS5 Fabric (Seperation & Stabilization). According to the company "it is a soil stablilzation fabric made from woven polypropylene fibers. It is typically used as base reinforcement under all types of pavements including patios, sidewalks and driveways. It helps to stop cracks, ruts and pot holes, in poor soil areas, before they start." They say it can "improve the long-term performance of your project by 50-70% when properly installed and if your project is professionally designed, SS5 Fabric could reduce required base material by as much as 30%."

Now, we stock it, but haven't sold any. I don't know how well it works in the field. Personally, I like the bi-directional geo-grid laid under the base like Paul said.

But anyway, yes Paponte, there is such a product.
