"Non woven terram, easy to cut and shape and also good for weed. But it will keep the driveway from sinking as much which will always happen when driving over and over it.

Woven terram is good just harder to work with."

"Hi
I would advise to use a geo textile woven membrane this will not stop weeds appearing but will be minimal. Any loose gravel area will need on going maintenance to keep appearance. I hope this helps, I would advise Jewsons to supply the product as these work very effectively.
Kind regards
