Place a sheet of landscape fabric on the floor inside the bed patio. Overlapping the edges of the fabric so there is no gap. Spread 2-inch thick builder sand on top of the landscape fabric. The sand provides a base for the gravel and prevents weeds from taking root in the gravel.

Fill in the courtyard with 4-inch of gravel pebbles. The surface of pea gravel patio should sit 1/2-1-inch below the rim so that it does not spill over the top. Rake leveling gravel after installation.
