Well, this is what I tell people about pros and cons to your ground cover. I think it is more of a personal preference then anything. I have had a few customers in the past that wanted to just leave a topsoil but I would make sure you have a yard that is well drained and you do not get wash outs. I have done mulch and bark jobs and the first rain is was in the neighbors yard. I think that a lot of people in TV go to stone because it is lower maintenance and people do not want to have to replace it like you do with mulches, bark or even topsoil. I have never been to California but I have been to places and know what you are talking about and I like the look much more natural then some of these stones and rubber mulches.
