While by totally adding rock (stones) to a landscape may look good, it is not the smartest idea, even if you use a weed control fabric.
Eventually, that fabric disintegrates and even before that, soil gets imbedded within the stones and the weeds start growing.
In addition, stones add nothing to our soil (sand & clay), which mulch does.

The stones become very hot in the summer and many plants "bake."
The best use for stones in a landscape is to use them to define a space or some plant(s) or shrubs -- not an entire property.
