Mud Monkeys can deliver and/or install the Geotextile fabric you need for your driveway project. Call 615-651-9275
What is it?
Woven fabric that comes in large rolls. Typically black in color.
The rolls are approx. 12 feet long, hold 4,500 sq. ft. of material and weigh approx. 250 lbs.
Where do you use it?
On any soil surface, before installing rock or gravel, which then sits on the fabric.
Why? Often, because it’s the law. Check local, state and federal laws regarding new driveway installation. Most new construction requires that a certain number of feet from the entrance in requires Geotech. On some projects all areas that are bare dirt need Geotech before installing gravel.
I was right in the middle of a perfectly ricky roo day when the boss lit up my Monkey Phone:
“That culvert installation story on Old Hickory Boulevard is breaking now and you need to cover it,” the vexatious old Orangutan practically screamed in my left ear.
“It’s a Mud Monkey customer needing their driveway extended ten feet to the right side for easier entrance to the property, this is absolutely huge!” he added.
I shook my head slightly in mock defiance, debating whether to rebel for real, but quickly decided to cover the assignment anyway, I am in pursuit of the Excellence in Journalism Award, you know.
Upon arriving, I witnessed a chaotic scene. The Mud Monkeys’ Bobcat Man was gingerly lifting an 1,800 lb. 10 foot long concrete culvert from a funky little homemade trailer the customer had picked it up in herself after purchase.
Dave the Mud Monkeys driver was struggling to guide the lift chains, the machine making that annoying beeping noise as it was backing up.
And the customer, Becky, obviously terrified her life changing concrete culvert was going to drop and break, was yelling, “Through God all things are possible!” ….just pure chaos.
Within thirty seconds of arrival I assumed full lotus position just to calm my nerves.
And stayed there.
Except for when I took these hopefully self-explanatory pics of the awesome job the Mud Monkeys guys did:
And that’s the way it was, September 18th, 2018, roving reporter Mud D. Monkey signing off.

If your gravel drive is washing out repeatedly, sometimes just after having fresh gravel laid, there may be a solution that’s less costly than cement or paving and will save you a bunch of banana$ in the long run.
Mud Monkeys does offer simple rut grading and gravel replacement, and we are happy to do that, but it may not address the root problem.
For a longer lasting solution we also offer a more comprehensive fix:
More extensive grading that redirects runoff.
French drains
Gutter cuts
Erosion control using a combination of materials that increase stability
This solution requires both machine and hand labor.
Contrary to my usual thought process, I’d advise you not to monkey around, Call Kelly at 615-651-9275 now for an on-site consultation and estimate.
