    Usually weed block is used to separate the drainage layer from the substrate. I had a hard time finding any this time of the year so I used window screen instead.

    Not the paper kind. It is a fabric, usually black. >Name:  weed block.JPG

    Thank you so much! I will check it out at Lowes today. I feel like they would still have some as it has not started snowing yet in my area.

    So I went to BOTH Lowes and Home Depot and neither of which had LECA. Disappointment...

    I guess I will have to buy it online as well as the landscaping fabric. Thank you all so much!
