This is different. Something is radically wrong here. I have the conventional rock landscape around the house with weed mat and flowers. IF I DONT WEED DAILY...the weeds begin to take over. God forbid, if I miss a day or two, you can't see the rocks for the weeds. Recently I dumped...not sprayed...half a huge container of Round Up on a particularly difficult area. And yes the weeds are back.
I beginning to wonder if my landscaping is too wet underneath.
Thanking you in advance, I appreciate any and all advice you can offer from your vast bank of wisdom, expertise, and experience, including names of reliable contractors or any other success your had in this weedy battle.

People assume that the rock and landscape mat will create a weed free environment. Quite the contrary, it creates the opposite, a perfect environment for weeds to germinate and grow. Especially the spurges. Dust and organic matter get between the warm rocks
and the weeds take off growing with out any problem. Try using Preen for southern lawns. It is a granular product that been formulated for our weeds. They will prevent the weeds from germinating. Buy a big bag or box and read the directions.
