making a pebble garden area

Categories: Garden

Has anyone made a pebble or gravel covered area over dirt in a garden (see pic)? Do you have to dig out three or so inches and put larger rocks below for drainage, or can you just put an inch or so of pebbles on top of existing dirt? I want to make sure drainage is decent but it would obviously be a lot more labor to go three inches down. TIA.
