I didn't think that fabric was used under driveways.  In the past, I've used
filter cloth for footing drains and weed block for landscaping.  In my
neighborhood, there's a lumberyard that's only open M-F 7-5.  That's
where I go when I want to know what the local professionals are doing.

Pretty fun place to visit, the guys who work there are kind of proud that
their hours of business determines what kind of customer they serve.
I sent a girlfriend to run an errand for me and apparently they were
quite rude.
