Second on passing on the gravel. Weeds aside, if/when you want to get rid of it doing so won't be easy. Bare earth, or even some mulch, is the way to go IMO.
Mulch is a good idea, and when it breaks down and gets filled with soil, it will make a good top dressing in a planting bed.
Awesome job! Digging the small details like the relief cuts on the post bracings. Also cool bat box. I have bare earth around my garden shed and it's not too much work to keep it clear of weeds but depends on the type of soil.
Mulch the ground to help control weeds or unwanted grass. Looks great!
This looks amazing, stellar job! I agree that gravel would be rife with weeds soon enough. Even if you put down a membrane first, weeds will still take root in my experience.
Looks fantastic!
Looks nice and useful. I was thinking about doing something similar. Does not appear to be attached to the building? Posts look like they were covered with some kind of protection, sunk into holes, then back-filled with gravel?
That looks fantastic!!
