Hello @Gillo53 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your side landscaping project. 

This is an excellent alternative to a patchy, muddy area. The pavers serve as excellent stepping points which prevents you from stepping on the soft soil and the gravel provides a nice material contrast and cover. It's a great idea and adds street appeal to the house.
