Agree!!! I have rocks over a weed block and have had no problems with my plantings. I agree that the bugs and other critters will look for some cooler places to hang out as well.

The rocks also help keep dogs off your plantings and shrubs as well. The rocks are hard and hot on their feet and also eliminates or lessens the extra "watering" of your plantings.
