Coarse Dirt Paths/Farmland

Coarse dirt is a very useful decorative block, but when you change its state (via shovel or hoe) it becomes normal dirt. All i would like is to be able to blend dirt and gravel better, or use it to make a gravelier path without having to use gravel. And it will help with transitions from stone paths to dirt, or a stone beach farm with gravelly soil. Its just a very small visual that i would love to see.
