Default Re: landscaping rocks

Although rock mulch may not be permanent it comes close. Once in it is not easy to replace so make certain it is where you really want it. If you are planning a lot of planting it adds to the task. Over a period of time it tends to sink into the earth and also dirt collects in it making it susceptible to weeds. Do not pull them as this brings up more dirt. Roundup or a similar product is the solution to weeds.
We put ours in 6 years ago and it has needed some replenishing. We found Dirt Cheap had a good selection and price but that was six years ago. They are on east side of 27/441 north of
The Villages.
Last, but not least, placing a "weed barrier" under the rock may be advantageous but spend the extra $$ and get one with a long life.
Good luck.
