Ok, I need some help from people with a good gardening thumb.
I have a small yard which right now looks like garbage because of where the dogs have dug the lack of grass etc. I'm thinking about starting rennovations on it this weekend. One of my ideas is to do a walking path from the patio to the gate, and then making another path and making a little sitting area. Facing out to where I plan to plant more stuff.
That being said, aside from the pavers, I'm not sure if I want to use gravel, or mulch to fill in the gaps. If I use gravel, I run the risk of having one of the dogs hurt their paws, on the other hand if I use mulch (cedar chips), they're more likely to use the bathroom on it which would defeat the purpose of making a path to begin with. I think the gravel would look better myself, and my dogs would most probably go around it.
Any thoughts?
