Though I haven't tried placing it over a garden plot to see how it works yet.
    The Patch of Gravel doesn't seem to clip through anything with a solid bottom (garden ponds, garden plots). It has about half the depth of the Stepping Stones, allowing you to see them through it and of course if you can see grass through something, you can see the Patch of Gravel. [edit: the gravel will completely cover gingko leaf piles and mostly cover the maple leaf piles so no gravel paths with wind blown leaves on them].

    It was bothering me that the gravel in Kugane looks decent while this doesn't so I zoomed in as far as I could and took screenshots of both. The Patch of Gravel appears to use the same texture but reduced in size. I don't think it's generating shadows in the same way which leads to the oatmeal lumpy appearance instead of the sharp-edged gravel appearance. I did test it at my friend's house in Kugane and it has the same appearance as at my house so I don't think it's related to differences in lighting between older housing districts and the new expansion areas.

    If it's just the texture size causing the difference then hopefully SE can tweak it to return it to looking more gravel. I really like the potential for this item in our yards, it just that little bit off right now.
