I live on the beach. Needless to read aloud my yard is SAND! What a niggle in the bum. I enjoy four dogs plus foster dogs in and out adjectives the time. They track sand in adjectives the time.
I've got the front patio all figure out. Had sod put down and it's perfect. I don't want grass within my backyard. I had a nightmare of an experience next to a landscaping company. I ordered (and prepaid) for my entire patio (which is huge) to be done in Arizona red rock. They deliver and laid enough to cover 1/3 of my courtyard. (I'm still dealing with the company, not looking virtuous. I'm not getting a refund, or more gravel.) I'm slanting toward mulching my yard. I don't want to own to shell out another large chunk of money for gravel. I don't want grass because they put the gravel contained by the dead center of my courtyard. I think it would look goofy. Plus I don't want the mowing company to ever enter the vertebrae yard. I want a no rubbish, little maintenance odds. Anyone have any planning?
Lay quad material: paving stones, squares, etc... In areas between paving & home, donate raised dirt bed for garden, flowers, etc...
put a fountain within the middle of the gravel, maybe put some form of flat rock between the gravel for a mixed look.
leve the sand but include some large planters ( no holes) this will at lowest possible hold some type of folieage and water ample to keep the plants glowing and growing.
distribute them with smaller planters thougout the patio.
try adding some ample flatrock for a place for your table and chairs and an area for the lounger.
Answers: have you ever hear of raised garden bed?that way you dont enjoy to worry in the order of improving soil structure.build boxes out of treated pine sleepers (unless vegie patch after use something else as treated timber can contain traces of arsnic and can leach into vegies) you could line the bottom beside newspaper or a weed mat and fill next to a garden mix.plant plants and mulch with a sugarcane mulch or equivilent.next to the red rock you could use it in between the raise garden beds as a wonderful looking pathway.
