River Rock Pebble Path
Oftentimes side of house areas experience tremendous lack of sunlight or drainage issues and grass is no longer an option. Adding a river rock pebble path to a side yard area provides landscaping interest as well as enhanced drainage.
The first thing you will want to do is eliminate any existing weeds or grass from the area. You can do this by manually removing it or applying a grass and weed killer. Once the grass and/or weeds have been removed, lay down a landscaping weed barrier fabric to cover the entire area you plan to add river rock.
To define your pathway and keep the river rock confined, install an edging material. This edging can be found in a variety of colors and materials. You can install metal edging borders, composite bender board or use natural stonework.
Once you have created your pathway base and borders, simply install the river rock to create your pathway. If you want to enhance the pathway with stepping stones, install them before you add the river rock.
