Hello!
Coming spring, we want to change our pebble garden and add more green. Ive attached a picture of the garden and tried to show what we wish to do. Basically, we want to keep the pebbles under the Gazebo (and maybe in front of the shed door) and make a little pathway to the house. But the rest should be turned into a lawn, where - ideally - we can plant a small cherry tree (red circle on the picture).
That said, the pebble garden came with the house, so I don’t know how it is laid out underneath. I’m assuming that there should be some kind of mesh to prevent weeds coming through, but I need to check. The plan was, to remove the pebbles, get some soil and plant grass seeds, but as we have never transformed a pebble garden before, I was wondering if you guys have any useful tips or suggestions (e.g. do we leave the mesh in? How much soil should we use? What are typical mistakes?). Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
