Luxury Landscaping On a Small Budget

What happens here

A large pile of black and gray beauty rock (gravel) is transported from the street to the backyard using a compact utility loader. The skid steer is then used to carefully dump and spread the gravel over the installed weed barrier fabric, creating a uniform layer across the plant beds and pathways. For a polished look, a rake is used to evenly distribute the gravel, ensuring it covers the weed barrier completely and creates a smooth surface. This stone serves as an attractive ground cover and, once finished, would provide an excellent backdrop for low-voltage lighting, making illuminated features stand out.

Goal: Decorative gravel is transported and spread over the weed barrier in the plant beds to complete the aesthetic of the landscape and provide a clean, low-maintenance surface.
