Furthermore, defining your space with a marker (you could use spray paint, for example) and defining each region is of prime importance. This will help to get a solid footing when you are learning how to landscape around a back deck.
Place Your Borders
If you are planning on placing rocks or plants in certain an area, then separate this from your deck. You will want to define these areas with new soil as well as additional materials that highlight your design. You can use a liner or plastic edging to make sure there is a separation between your deck and the new landscape features.
Set Your Foundation
Any pathway to a deck will need a foundation to hold together your design. If you are adding in a path around your deck, set it with gravel that you tamp down for an even layout.
Add in EnviroPATH
Use a 100% organic material that stops new weeds from growing, is an insect repellant and water permeable. Simply pour out a bag of EnviroPATH and mix it with 1.4 liters of water. Blend it into the base foundation and tamp it down to compact it. Once your surface is even, spray a light mist with water, followed by a heavier spray to saturate and solidify the material.
Lay the Final Design
