  I don't find it too big an issue with grass growing into gravel, but it comes down to personal choice. 
  If you were only making a small timber wall, you could probably get away with not concreting, and could pile soil in around it, but you'd have to bury the timber deeper to get enough support. You wouldn't need a huge amount of concrete, so if you wanted to remove it in future, it wouldn't be too big a job.
  That log roll stuff you can buy is awful - far too flimsy for a timber edge to hold back soil IMO. I always think the best thing you can do with it is buy it, bring it home, and put it straight in the bin. 
  Just my opinion of course 

  It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

  Thank you - yes - it is - mostly what's been dug up. It was amazing uncovering the slabs! I like the untidiness and the way the plants fall over it ... Didn't realise the lad was in the pic!

  Sounds great I may do that with the gravel then! 
  
  Thanks for your help!
