Also final question what would you recommend for a boarder? The whole area is fenced in but the fence Im assuming is super old and is crazy warped. Im debating between having wood around the edges or larger bricks/stones.

If you have 6 inches to go up I’d put in a few inches of gravel, tamp it down level, then just place a 2x4 frame out of pressure treated with the top level with your patio to hold the pea gravel. At my new place I had to come up about 8 inches, so did a 4 inch tamped level gravel base with 2x4 frame filled with wood mulch.
