    i am just deciding whether to fill this corner area in with cement just a small depth ,

    or should i use the black polypropylene landscape fabric and then just put gravel stones on top instead

    Any ideas i would be grateful

    Install the Mypex,and cut some X,s into it.

    Fold back the material when you have made the X cuts and plant some nice flowers and bulbs.
    Then put down a layer of bark chip.


    Much nicer than looking at concrete.

    Install the Mypex and then cut the X,s into it with a sharp stanley knife........where you want to plant the plants/flowers.
    You wont have any problems with weeds.

    We have our own garden done this way and never any actual problems with weeds growing or rooting down.





    With regards the cats...The more plants and groundcover you have,then the less likely the cats will go in and play around there.

    You could also use some decorative stone chip instead of the bark chip.........or even rubber chippings
    Its down to your own personal choice really.:)

    Another option.

    Install Mypex.

    Cut out some holes and plant in some small evergreen plants or ferns along the sides and edges.

    Cover area with stone chippings.

    Then add in a nice small water feature in the centre....(run the power lead to nearest socket or install an outdoor ground spike socket near the fence).


    Now you have a nice litte feature area,with the relaxing sight/sound of water and some nice plants/flowers too.
