ok, so fabric would actually be better? Today it rained for a while again and I noticed it pooling at the edge where I cut (where concrete edging will go) so it is getting the water farther away. My slope is WAY more than 1/4" per foot, I know that. I removed so much earth it is getting nuts that I only did it with a shovel. I only have about 5' left to do then I am done!
At the base of my slope where it meets the lawn I cut probably 6-8" deep. The concrete edgers that I want to be flush with the lawn (mow strip) are only, guessing 3-4". I was thinking I would put a 3-4" class 5 base under the edgers that need it, does that sound like a good idea? The other edgers I will just put on top of soil, is that ok?
I am going to have to get my river rock delivered, I need roughly 8 yards to fill the area I took out! Average of 4" deep with 70'X9' average. I also want to do it around my deck and shed as a "ramp" against all sides so my dog/other criters/leaves can't get under them. Therefore, maybe more like 10 yards!
