Just curious why gravel over mulch?
I have both and I wish it was all mulch.
Sheet mulching is great for the first few years but the cardboard will break down and you'll have weeds again. With mulch you can just lay down more cardboard and go again. It's not that easy with gravel.
I just like the way gravel looks but you're right. Mulch may be the smarter option.
