I went down to the U of Florida plant clinic and they told me that rocks can harm your plants as they act as a heat sink causing your expensive landscaping to stress. They advised using pine straw or bark chips . The people down there are master gardeners and I would take their advice over a landscaper looking to sell you a job.
