If you keep the bedding plants that came with your home, they are hardy to this area and don't require extra measures. All rock still gets enough plant material settling and decomposing to offer a place for weeds to sprout and grow. I love the look of lawns that are made of grass.

We kept very little of what the builder provided. And yes, despite landscape fabric, weeds still grow from above and below the mat. I’d rather spray or pull weeds, than pay to water grass.
