I have a brick and concrete block foundation to my house. Between the
foundation and the poured driveway is a 2'x20' planter. I want to
remove the planter to provide better drainage away from the house and
also to widen the driveway. What is the beat way to fill in this area?
I am thinking gravel then sand then brick pavers. Is there any danger
that the gravel will compress against the house foundation when a car
tire is on it and hurt the foundation? Are there any better ways to
replace the planter?

Thanks!
