I have a section in my yard where I have a firepit, and just recently got a bunch of the Costco Adirondack plastic chairs which are HEAVY. Mowing and trimming here is a real pain. (PS: The Costco Adirondack chairs are nowhere near as my other Polywood chairs despite also being plastic and a similar design, but we wanted cheaper chairs near the fire incase they get melted by embers)
I'm planning on making it gravel, so I don't have to mow, and when something shoots off the fire, it doesn't burn the ground. Note that I say lawn, but this is just really weeds at this point
The red line would be approximate area I'd be making gravel
I'm thinking of getting this Blackstar Gravel
I do not want the lawn to end up growing into the gravel easily, so my plan is to make a trench around the area, and then pour a concrete barrier around the whole thing a couple inches high. Then I can put some fabric down and fill to the top of the concrete barrier with gravel. For Drainage, I would drill holes in the form and throw some 1 inch PVC conduit through it, so the water can escape
Does anyone think my plan is dumb?
