Interesting. I wouldn't have to contend with tracking it in as this g.h. is far from the house. We have compacted D.G. there already as it was previously the kids play area and orchard area. I've thought about putting pavers on it but then have thought why? Why spend an extra $400 plus 3 days of back breaking labor if it will do what I need? Which is to remain somewhat level, drain etc. Which it does. I'm thinking I could use that money for something else. Like more plants;>
