That area is in the shade so grass is pretty thin, best case. I've noticed that when it rains mud splashes up on the benches. I'm really leaning towards walkway gravel in that area and to put 16 rows X 2 columns. That should meet my 200 seating capacity.
River rock would be nice .. not sure of the cost. Smoother and less dusty than gravel.
Much harder to walk on, especially in high heels. There is dust to contend with on walkway gravel, but only for the first few months. I would, of course, compact the gravel with a machine as soon as they're in place. My last event this year is 12/12. I'm thinking I may do this the week after and that gives me until the end of March for everything to settle in before the next weddings start happening. I might even pour concrete in the aisle but again, I am definitely leaving the area by the arbor as a grassy area. It gets enough sun that the grass stays pretty thick there.

I don't know what they call it there - we had done a driveway in "tailings" - I think its a bit larger than crusher dust - maybe 0 - 1/4......anyway - once this stuff lays for a bit - gets wet, walked on, it becomes hard - like concrete. If you end up with concrete you could color it and stamp it.....looks more "natural " a flagstone look....
Yea, I definitely do not want crusher run, way too much dust. A landscaper told me about the driveway gravel. Basically, it's bb-sized and he said that once it settles it will harden, much like concrete. I'd already been planning to build a path down from the building using this stuff but the more I think about it, it might make a good solution where the benches are at. I do still have another tree to take out, if I'm going to do 2 columns. I'm hoping to be decided after 12/12, and get it done. The site should be in good shape by March, when weddings kick back up. I've been advertising 4 ceremony sites but will likely change that next year and only offer the 1. If they want a custom setup, get out your checkbook lady................
