If you have the funds, remove the rocks and replace with a ground cover and pine straw. People learn too late that rock yards do not equal a maintenance free lawn, just a different type of work. I have found that while pine straw doesn't prevent weeds, it does help keep them at bay. Hand pulling is the most effective and doesn't add harsh chemicals to our shallow water table. Fernview farms recommends a good group of former employees who do this type of work. They are not cheap but are reliable.
