Dogs running along the fence of the yard created a 3-12 inch deep rut 2 feet wide.
Need to fix with good drainage so no standing water or mud after.
The fence location means no sun ever reaches the affected area.
Plan is to
1. Fill in the low area with masonry sand ( up to 10 inches in places ). Should I instead fill in with top soil until the whole affected area in 1-2 inches low then use the sand.
2. Mix the top 1-2 inches with perlight for better drainage.
3. Cover the affected area with 1 to 2 layers of river rock for drainage and to keep dog from digging and rutting up the area.
– what size rock to use? 2 inch. 3 inch. 5 inch? Current thinking 2 to 3 itch jagged and circular river rock.
Also wondering the amount of material needed. It’s 2-3 feet wide and up to 10 inches deep ruts. So assume 1 cubic foot sand and or top soil sand filler. Then 1 cubic foot of river rock.
Can’t find good examples of similar fixes online. Please any help much appreciated and if you know of a relevant online fix ( video or blog post with pics ) is very welcome.
