The day I created this path COLLEGE BOY said, "All the gravel is going to wash across the garden with the first rain."
.
Hey COLLEGE BOY, "2 decades & counting, when exactly is the gravel going to wash away?"

Garden & Be Well, XO Tara
.
Gravel path with slight slope, drainage issue. Path terraced, shot pea gravel poured, stones dug into slope with 2" buried in soil, stones angled slightly into slope.
.
Shot pea gravel loaded at quarry into the back of my pick-up truck. Parked at the curb & shoveled gravel into my double-wheeled wheelbarrow.
.
Stepped off the length of this path, counting steps, and bought chunky field stone to match number of steps. Chose only stones I could carry in my arms. Each of the stones you see, above, I carried one-by-one from my truck at the curb to the backyard (easier than the wheelbarrow routine) & dug into the slope.
