Another one. Currently we have slate covering the front garden. It gets loads of leaves/bits on it from a tree in the street. Also falls on the path. I'm fixing the path bit with Everedge edging, but are there any better, possibly more compact aggregates that would pack down better and be easy to keep looking clean?
My partner isn't a fan of the slate, but I think mainly not a fan of the inability to sweep it clean. I want something that drains well so def not paved. Having seen that a ton of gravel is not too expensive, I'm willing to change it, but not if it's just as bad/better.
Pic attached. Plan is to move the bins to in front of the bike shed, add large paving slabs as a path to the bins and bike shed and put planters of some kind, maybe corten where the bins currently are.
Edit, very much trying to do this on the cheap and there is a distinct slope from the bike shed to the path that I don't want to have to level.
