For times when I've landscaped with gravel, I've just used regular white glue with gravel sprinkled over it. I've left it to dry and then removed the excess. This works perfectly fine for the most part, but I thought I'd give Woodland Scenics Scenic Cement a try. It's meant to be applied after you've poured the gravel or ballast materials onto your landscape.

I built a large planter for the patio and planted two topiary trees in it. I sprinkled Woodland Scenics gravel into the planter over a layer of white glue to start. I had a liquid dropper from Jasper's previous medications to use for the Scenic Cement.

It is very watery so you'd have to watch what you're doing when working on anything with an incline or anything not water tight. I had planned ahead and fully sealed the planter interior. Once I had a good amount in the planter, I sprinkled some additional gravel on top. Even if this top layer doesn't stick much, it won't matter. There will be additional filler plants, but those can be glued on top of the gravel once this sets.
