I graveled the patch of garden at the foot of the deck/new build. It took a bit of a hammering during the build and we decided that, for both aesthetic and maintenance reasons, we would gravel over the small patch of lawn. Its a part of the garden that we’ve found we use a lot, although it is mainly a thoroughfare between deck and seating area where the old summer house was.
First up, I sprayed the area with weedkiller to kill of what lawn had survived, and then laid down weed suppressant fabric:
I bought I “bulk bag” (aprox 800Kg) of gravel from Bradfords – with delivery came to circa £65.
It arrived at about 8.45 am and then came the task of barrowing it all from the front to the back. Reckon it took about two hours to move it all and spread it out (including time for a tea break!)
and I am pleased with the results. Looks good!
