Hi there. Looking for some input!
I live on Vancouver Island where we get quite a bit of rain. We have two big dogs and they’ve destroyed our front yard over the past year or two. They end up bringing a lot of dirt/mud into the house and we’re looking to improve the situation by replacing the lawn with gravel.
The yard has two very large trees, one cedar and one cherry. The cedar tree drops a lot of debris and cones throughout the year, especially in the winter time when it gets windy. The cherry tree drops a few cherries, but mostly leaves.
My questions are:
1) How deep should the gravel be?
2) How can I keep it clean of debris?
3) What kind of gravel should I use? I was thinking something round/smooth for the dogs (pea gravel), but it occurred to me that a blower might be useful for cleaning debris and I’m worried pea gravel might be too light.
4) Should I use landscape fabric under the gravel? Cardboard?
5) Any other tips or input?
Thanks in advance!
