I am thinking of digging it up and covering the area will gravel,

I also would like to put triangular raised beds on the 4 corners to
grow veg in.

I always wonder, when you see pictures of raised beds, edged with
boards, with nice cleangravel paths between, how you manage to dig and
plant without getting soil on the gravel. You can sweep a paved path,
you can't sweep gravel.
Practical or not?
Just a thought!

And a good thought, too. But of course much of the advantage of raised
beds is lost if one doesn't adopt the no-digging approach, so grass
paths must be best if one can't run to concrete or slabs. That way the
occasional spills from planting and harvesting won't matter.
