Wood Mulch is Better Than Rocks

I don't want any landscaping or design, just bring the stone, put down a weed barrier and fill it up with river rocks.
Such a small job, not sure if a landscaper would call me back.

Please rethink your decision to replace your pine straw with river rocks.
Why not think about some type of wood mulch?
Mulch comes in many types, shapes, colors and sizes and as it slowly breaks down,
adds nutrients to and amends the soil.
The rocks add nothing to the soil and could even be detrimental.
In the hot sun, they bake many plants and shrubs and do not keep the soil from drying out.
Just something to think about . . .
