Yes Ive been sat up reading my magazines, could gradually bring in borders, making them disappear and just have plants, the gravel will help. Watch big dreams small spaces, just need more money! Thank you
My neighbour had gravel in her front garden - admittedly, not white! - I would often find that seeds that I had scattered, never to see again , were happily growing through her gravel. Perhaps you could add some more natural- looking gravel on top.
Janice, have a look at "Make Your Own Mediterranean Garden" by Pattie Baron, you can get a used copy from Amazon. There's a lot about using gravel to supress weeds and how to plant the kind of plants that'll thrive in it. (I guess you'll have to find out what's beneath the gravel you have, though.)
Here on the north Kent coast numerous front gardens are being filled with beach stones. I think it's probably mainly by what we call "DFLs - Down from London) who have been to the beach and want to transform their gardens to look the same. Low maintenance but bland, repetitive and ugly.
