I need to place some geotextile fabric on a driveway so I can get big trucks up the hill to the jobsite. The only problem is I don’t know where to get the stuff nor do I know how much the stuff *should* cost.
Can anybody advise me?

I paid about 20 cents per square foot. Here are some contact numbers. They can probably direct you to a local supplier.
Manufacturers:
Company Phone Product
Contech (409) 296-4098 C-200 Woven Fabric or C-38
Non-woven fabric
Nicolon/Mirafi Group (800) 234-0484 140N
Linq Industries (800) 543-9966 130EX

What I've been able to find is that I need a woven product. I've heard a large range of prices so far from .10 a square foot to .69 a square foot. I just don't know what "the going rate" is.
I'll need a 432' roll of the stuff.
Maybe someone else will see this thread and offer their advice as well.
