Should you use Geo Fabric to wrap your gravel when installing a French drain? Good Question. Depending on the soil type and depending on what kind of fabric you use will make a big difference.

Honestly... the system will last 15 to 25 years with or without fabric!

This video shows why we prefer NOT to use fabric when installing a system in clay based soils.

Geo fabric is used to help keep dirt and mud out of the gravel in French drain or at the footer tile.
