I have a flat, narrow strip of ground alongside my drive, approximately 20m x 1.5m. It is overshadowed by Sycamore trees and the soil is horrible so almost nothing will grow on it, except weeds. Every year the leaves come down and I need to be able to pick them up without disturbing the surface.

I want to tidy this strip up and I think cellular paving, filled with gravel, could be the answer, providing it can be done cheaper than ordinary paving.

There will be no traffic on this ground.

Do you agree?

Which product would be the cheapest?

Where can I buy it?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

The gravel will still be somewhat 'loose', even when contained by the cell matrix, and will be disturbed if raked. It seems to me that a solid paving would allow you to brush the surface clear of leaves, and the cheapest solid paving is either reclaimed flags or placed insitu concrete.
