Do I put fabric under pebbles/slate chips?

[wipeoutdude]

Hi all,

Probably be asked a million times but I couldn't find the exact situation and answer..

I have just had a section of the drive way widened (tar) and have concrete edging.. There is about an 8-10 inch strip of soil between the concrete driveway edging and the fence which is about 5 - 6 meters long..

Basically I want nothing to grow there..

I think the best thing is to fill it with pebbles or slate chips which I guess would stop anything growing..

The question is do I need to put landscape fabric under it first or will the pebbles/slate be enough?

Thanks for any advise..

Yes you need landscape fabric.
