Will this work?

[Confettishower]

We have a double fronted victorian house with a small front garden (we have a large back garden too). The path leads up to the front door and either side is an area (see very bad diagram) which currently has a block pattern intertwined with gravel. At the moment there are lots of daffodils growing through and we'll have bluebells soon. They grow randomly so no order to it and looks a bit of a mess. It's surrounded by a low wall with railings on top.

I was thinking of pulling up all the blocks, putting a box hedge around the outside and then filling the middle with polished quartz stones. However, I'd like to leave a load of bulbs and put more in so that in spring it is completely filled with tulips, daffodils and bluebells. Would this work?

Diagram!

If the stones are quite small guage then the larger bulbs should have the power to push through, anything too heavy and too thick might be a struggle for smaller earlier bulbs like crocuses, muscari, smaller varieties of galanthus etc.

To add you will also have a few weeks of just foliage following flowering to allow the plant to store as much energy into the bulb below for next year, so if you don't mind that few weeks of more 'messy', for want of a better word, foliage then sounds like it could work :)

Thank you. I don't mind the foliage. Love the thought of the entire thing filled with tulips.
