Chris smith Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 Always seems to look messy and gathers dirt any suggestions? thanks
Temp Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 Its there to reduce the amount of rain splashing up onto the wall above the DPC. Many garden centres have a range of different colours of granite chips and gravel. Perhaps grey would less conspicuous? Perhaps a multi colour wouldn't show dirt as much?
Ferdinand Posted June 3, 2020 Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) How deep is it? Perhaps "River Pebbles" of some size or other. Or shingle. Or perhaps slate chips. Or you could use some sort of rubbed glass. I think the main thing is to be backward visually rather than forwards. So it needs to be darker or the same as the pavers. .
