Needles cannot be removed from mulch with blower. I just spent an hour cleaning out my beds by hand.
To the point: I am considering either pebbles or gravel with a few drought-adapted large plants. Yes I know...
I THINK one could blow needles off pebbles. Could one do it off gravel?
Pebbles more expensive than gravel?
Any experience/advice gratefully received,

I don't think gravel or pebbles is the right way to go. Personally, I think slabs would look better and it wouldn't make garden look messy. If not, then consider artificial grass as that would still give the "lawn" look but would be easily taken care of if any needles did fall. It would further stop and of the problems that you are having with your "lawn" at the minuet.
Hope you find this useful
