Slab Apron/Skirt???

[kgasaway]

Hello, I am wonder what is common to backfill around an above grade slab. Would you use dirt, gravel, or concrete to keep it from washing out?

i would put in some dirt and pack it good with a slope away from the slab . so if water its it it can run down and away . also down spout on them gutter ends please to get water away also . not just the chunk of rock / concrete this lets it splash back and get places you do not want the water .

I would do dirt as well but not as much as at the far end of the photo. Leave some of the slab exposed

Rock is nice because you just spray it a couple times a year. Don't have to try to mow up next to the building. Keep it at least 4" from the bottom of the tin, more is better.

IMHO ,I lean towards rock too.
Reason being it will hold dirt in place and drain as well
