This is what we have done to finish off the edge of the deck. This area was just a combo of bare earth and grasses and weeds. So, our French HelpXer, Fabien, cleared the area back to soil and then we located Lomandra and other plants where we wanted them planted.
Our previous Helpers, Susie and Andreas, had dug out a creek like channel and then we lined it with left-over pond liner that we used for the pond in the deck. Then, we bought several metres of rocks and river pebbles
which Fabien arranged into a fairly realistic creek bed and then spread smaller pebbles over the soil, over which he has placed wet newspaper to try and stop weeds from growing through the pebbles.
Not a bad look, hey. The 'creek' takes water which overflows from our deck pond during heavy rain.

What a great idea, and I love how your French helper has created a very Aussie looking creek. Now that's talent.
