GeoCell purchase and install
First time uaer of GeoCells and found the installation to be very straight forward.
Decided to invest in (what I perceive to be) a quality underlayment product when installing the 1st 70' of my (sloped) gravel driveway on my weekend get-away property.
Purchase was painless (ordered: woven textile barrier, (4- 4") full size geocells, (1- 4") half size geocell, and (50) rebar stakes). Delivery was timely and order was accurate.
Installation was a breeze with the most difficult part being hammering in the 24" (curved) rebar spikes. The geocell material is extremly thick and durable, yet easy enough to cut with a sharp utility knife. Filling, compacting, and leveling was accomplished by renting a skid steer (highly recommended!).
Finished product is as anticipated, although I do expect additional settling/comlaction with wet weather and change of seasons.
I plan is to wait a year to see how well this product retains fill, resists rain gutters, run off, and potholes. . . but am confident there will be little to no issue.
Already planning the remaining 300' (flat land) of driveway (WITH GEOCELL) and, although not necessary, I simply like how well the material compacts into the cells (virtually eliminating excessive amounts of expensive compacting fill).
Would highly recommend.
