Hello everyone , we are planning to redo our gravel driveway . Previous owner laid fabric membrane on top of the mud and put gravel. Now all the plants and grass poking through the membrane finding it hard to keep them clean . I have been thinking of removing the membrane and gravel , apply fine sand on top of the mud and put a new membrane. I have never done this before our first property. (we dont want to dig out much because some pipes or wires long the side of the driveway .)Please guide us.

In my (admittedly limited) experience, membranes and gravel provide a perfect growing situation for plants you don't want. Weeds and grass don't poke through so much as nestle happily on top.

It's been bodged I'm afraid. You should really have a minimum of 150mm type 1 subbase for a driveway.
