Whether creating driveways, water features, or preparing the ground for a new decking area, our geosynthetic technologies offer an efficient, durable and sustainable alternative to traditional methods. Top blogs![]() WeedShield and FasTrack ShieldWeedShield and FasTrack Shield are high-quality weed suppressant geotextiles, designed to provide long-term ground maintenance solutions. The range includes three distinct variants, each crafted to meet specific gardening and landscaping requirements. Whether you need a lightweight barrier for flower beds or a heavy-duty geotextile for patios and pathways, there is a suitable option for every need. WeedShield and WeedShield Plus allow the soil to remain healthy and fertile due to their permeable nature. They enable nutrients, liquid feed, fertilisers, water, and air to penetrate the soil while blocking sunlight to prevent weed growth. This sustainable approach ensures effective and long-lasting weed control. FasTrack Shield, a heavy-duty weed suppressant, is ideally suited for high-traffic areas such as beneath patios and pathways and is fully compatible with geopaving systems like our Ecodeck range. ![]() EcodeckEcodeck is a UK-manufactured, 100% recycled plastic grass and gravel geopaving system. Its simple installation process, which involves clicking panels together, allows large areas to be covered in a short time. This makes it ideal for a variety of light to medium-duty applications, including driveways, parking areas, decorative landscaping, shed bases, and pathways. Offering a sustainable alternative to traditional materials, Ecodeck is fully compliant with Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS), enhancing drainage while providing a durable option for ground protection and reinforcement. By simplifying installation and reducing maintenance requirements, Ecodeck encourages more people to adopt sustainable landscaping solutions, helping to protect the environment while creating functional and visually appealing outdoor spaces. ![]() TerraTrack LiteTerraTrack Lite is a highly permeable, white non-woven geotextile designed for small-scale applications. It serves two essential functions: separation and filtration. Separation prevents the mixing of different soil or aggregate layers, which is crucial for decorative landscaping. Filtration allows water to pass through while retaining particles, ensuring efficient drainage. This geotextile is highly versatile and can be used in multiple applications. In SuDS, it acts as a reliable filtration layer, preventing soil and debris from clogging pipes and drains. It improves water flow, reduces maintenance costs, and enhances water management. For shed bases, TerraTrack Lite facilitates proper drainage, keeping soil particles in place and providing a stable foundation by evenly distributing weight. When used beneath garden paths, it prevents soil from mixing with gravel, maintaining path stability and longevity. In parking areas, it offers a balance of strength and permeability, preventing water pooling while withstanding vehicular loads. In garden landscaping, TerraTrack Lite supports stable, well-drained outdoor designs, ensuring soil integrity and enhancing the durability of patios, pathways, and decorative features. ![]() GT500GT500 is a 0.5mm geomembrane that is an excellent choice for creating garden water features that promote biodiversity. Its flexible design allows for easy shaping, making it ideal for ponds, streams, and wildlife-friendly water areas. Despite its thin profile, GT500 provides a secure, watertight base while remaining lightweight and easy to install. It integrates naturally with soil and rocks, allowing plants to root and aquatic life to flourish. By retaining water, it supports frogs, insects, birds, and other wildlife, fostering a balanced and diverse ecosystem within any garden. ![]() TurfMeshTurfMesh reinforces grassed areas that experience significant footfall or vehicle traffic. It protects grass roots while allowing grass to grow through the mesh, resulting in a natural, durable, and safe surface. Designed for installation on existing lawns and park areas, TurfMesh can be used as either a temporary system to aid grass growth or as a permanent reinforcement solution. It is laid directly onto grass and secured with steel U-pins, quickly becoming an integral part of the landscape. Over time, grassroots grow through the mesh, seamlessly blending with the environment. TurfMesh is ideal for parking areas, pedestrian walkways, and footpaths. Its straightforward installation is complemented by minimal upkeep, as it does not interfere with routine gardening practices such as mowing or fertilising. Geoworks’ DIY Home Range empowers homeowners and small contractors to create durable, sustainable, and visually appealing outdoor spaces. Achieve professional-quality results with ease, whether preventing weed growth, reinforcing surfaces, enhancing drainage, or creating biodiverse water features, our range provides the tools needed to build with confidence while promoting environmental sustainability.
