Is that a French drain or a gravel path? Either way it could do with a bit of weeding!

 

[Octopus]

You could add some capping for protection..... lol

 

[telectrix]

the same weeds seem to be on all 8 sides of the house.

I think the correct method has been selected.

Those octagonal houses,are tricky to plaster internally.

I've seen this done before, though at least it was installed in conduit.
I asked the owner of the property why it had been done this way? It turned out that they had recently had the house decorated and in one room the wall paper cost £120 per mtr2. Then they had an inspection and test a few months later only to find out the house desperately needed re-wiring. Sometimes people don't realise and make this mistake, I've seen it happen quite a lot.

Yikes!
(wallpaper cost that is ...)

Yes it was a very blingy black & silver affair, with a soft velvet texture. I couldn't believe it either, but I got talking to the decorator who was back doing some more work and he confirmed the cost. Though he did admit he had hiked up the installation price more than normal cause he was worried about covering damage costs if he made a mistake.

Don't make the mistake of opting for Woodchip...

 

[telectrix]

sadly woodchip is now banned. apparently it's a fire risk unless it's enclosed in a non-combustible enclosure, and must never be installed under wooden stairs.
