A four way image collage, the first image shows a two or three foot section of dirt surrounding the outside of the patio. The second image shows the bare dirt being covered with cardboard. There are a few blue tarps in the grass beyond. The third image shows the area after it has been lined with landscape fabric over the cardboard and a three inch section closest to the patio has been lined with green rock gravel to act as a french drain. The final image shows a close up of the landscape fabric covering the cardboard. There is a drink sitting on the surface and you can slightly see through the fabric to the cardboard below.
