I don't like gravel. That's it.

  • noisy
  • scatters all over the neighborhood.
  • hard to walk on
  • dogs and cats crap in it
  • kids chuck it around and put it in their mouth.
  • doesn't even look good.
  • difficult and heavy to remove once you have come to terms will all of the above.

Gravel advocates... explain your case for gravelling your garden/drive.

Gravel sceptics, feel free to share your distaste.

Canadian here.

I remember watching quite a few episodes of some reno show where the homeowner had to choose between two designs for the garden, and both choices usually ended up putting gravel down, which horrified us when we saw it.

When I think of gravel in the back yard (garden), it's the base layer for the paving stones that go on top of it

For me, it means I could never walk barefoot without it sticking to my feet in addition to it being uncomfortable to walk on.
