Hi Alex, I did some thing similar but it was over a front garden (small) that nothing would grow in - grass or shrub wise i mean. So i took up what i could of the bald grass and flattened down the rest, then put down a layer of weed controll barrier - its v cheap in woodies and put a tonne of decorative stones over it, raked it all thru and looks good. thats about 3 years ago now and its still fine. the odd weed in summer time but nothing major. hope it works out well for you (ps my mam puts old lino under where she wants to build a flower bed and then fills with compost or what ever and seems to work as well)
