Thanks folks! you’ve given me lots of great ideas and suggestions.

Large wood chips! Ok. I imagine those might be even cheaper since not many folks are after them. Thanks!

Thanks for the replies! My yard slopes downhill from right to left. So as you look at the photos the coop is the high point and the run the lower point as water runs from the left to the right of the property. Of course it was all green and fine looking so hey, lets put it right here, nice and...
