Yes, gravel stabilizer works — a geocell grid like the GEOWEB confines infill laterally inside individual cells, which prevents the scatter and rutting that loose gravel can't resist under vehicle loads.
The mechanism is containment, not compaction. Without a geocell, gravel migrates toward the path of least resistance — downhill, to the edges, or pushed aside by tires. A gravel stabilizer grid holds each section of infill in place so the surface stays load-bearing and level. The critical condition: the geocell needs a compacted sub-base and geotextile underlayment beneath it. Placed directly on uncompacted native soil, even a quality geocell grid will shift after heavy rain or repeated vehicle passes.
