I recently had our back patio redone and also added onto the driveway up front. Now I'd like to make a gravel walkway down the side between the two. Problem is, the patio and driveway are between 8 and 12 inches higher than the ground:   I'll also be replacing the fence later this year. So my questions are: Can I fill this side with 3/4 to raise it up and then top it with 1/4 for the walkway? If so, what do I do along the fenceline? And what about the sprinkler valve boxes? Any and all help or ideas is appreciated! |

| It looks as though the water runs off the roof into the area. Which direction is the natural drainage? Porkpal |

| The water doesn't run off there, there is a slight settling from the new sprinkler lines. Natural slope is towards the front driveway. |
