Default General advice sought on gravelling a garden

You could probably get the delivery driver to postion the ton bag of
chips over where you want them and then you could slash the bottom of
the bag that they are being delivered in and voila - a ton (or half)
chips right where you intend them to be! Then just rake them about a bit...


Aye, that'd be ideal. Might not work though! The garden is about 3 feet
above street level, so I'm not sure if we'll be able to deliver them
straight onto it. To make matters worse, the driveway that runs
alongside that garden is quite sloped (3 feet vertical climb in about
16 feet of horizontal distance) so unsuitable for tipping onto. I have
the horrible idea he'll have to deliver onto the street and we'll move
the chippings by hand -- probably the hardest part of the whole job.
