we like the stones because they are much easier & in the end, cheaper than mulch. (mulch lasts a few months before it turns to dry, grey fodder.) the guys who did ours, Mansfield Landscaping, did a WONDERFUL job, with thick layers of stone. we never use weed killer, because we don't get weeds with the 8inches of stone. i can't recommend them enough, & is worth the $$.
