Good advice. NO white rock, think you will be disappointed. Know rock will not solve weed problems. Matting under is GREAT advice, overlap definitely get the treated kind at H Depot, but STILL expect WEEDS. They get through anything, ANYTHING ! Take some time to figure cost. When they talk so much for so many tons, you will be shocked at the TINY pile they bring which is many TONS ! Or, if you don't want to do the hauling to the actual location yourself (they dump in on the drive or where you indicate), then you need to plan on many more $$$ for them to do it all. If you do it, it is easy to underestimate and think because they are quoting you for many tons, it's going to be a large pile of rock.... NOT ! LOL ! But, it's not as costly as it is buying it a few sacks at a time at HD, Lowes, or WM.
