To cover my front tiny teeny weeny garden with weed control sheet

[biglips]

as its about one metre wide from house to pavement and then the width of our house. Our House is off the public pavement and outside a busy day time bus stop (our road is a very busy main road) and theres no fence on our 6 ins wall (as used to have a bush but got rid of it for a reason).

Im gonna buy a 1 foot fancy railing to go on top of our wall as dont want to build a big wall cos i know people would sits on the wall and that would drive me up the wall (get it!! joke), BUT i need to put summat on top of the weed control sheet as will be planting plants and blubs thru the slits...Dp suggested rubber or wooden barks but i can see that getting thrown about. Dont fancy putting big pebbles incase our window will get smashed.

There is 3 other neighbours in my block, one got nothing in it as used to have plants but they work full time, one got a bush and other got a big wall with huge pebbles behind it on the floor.

any ideas please???
pls ask me questions

thanks

If you plant low spreading flowering plants and ahrubs. you won't need to put anything in between and they will cover the weed control sheet within a month or so. alternatively you could crazy pave over the lot, leaving some holes for a few plants or shrubs. I don't think it would cost very much to get someone in to crazypave.

£3.99 in Aldi at the moment. :)

crystal - oooh thats a good idea as didnt think of that.....well of course i didnt ...thanks for your tip

thevisitor - yes i know...thanks

weed control with smaller slate pebbles on top?

i think ground cover planting would look nice.

thanks everyone for your advices.....as im starting all it now.

Will need shaded plants ones and dont know which one are they???? (as the sunset comes around the front of the house for the last few hours of the day)..
