You are absolutely and completely right. I don't like rock yards either. And we did put pebbles down in our planting beds and even with the underlying material weeds will grow again. We trim our own bushes, well actually Henry does 99 percent of it, and afterward blows all the leaves and debris out and rakes it up and puts it in those big leaf bags, but even so, enough leaves fall into the rocks and biodegrade enough to soon have a place for a wayward seed to grow and they do grow, even in the rock beds.
and the lawns here could grow through a steel wall, I am beginning to believe.
Anyway, you cannot stint on water and fertilizer if you want a lawn that is not weedy. It is simple.
