I want to set out a path through my lawn with gravel. How can I reduce the gravel going onto my lawn?
A barrier needs to edge the gravel pathway and usually stone sets are a good choice. Timber rails can be pegged along a pathway, but in time these will decay and will need replacing. Metal edging staked at intervals along its length also gives a good edging to a lawn because the lawn will grow right up to the edge so it will become virtually invisible. The edging is set just below the lawn height for easy mowing. Cover the pathway with permeable membrane to reduce weed infestation and make sure that the gravel is finished below the edging so it does not run into the lawn.
