As you said Bonanza, beauty is in the eye's of the beholder. We have stoned around a good portion of our home but use pine straw in the rest of our beds. Here's why ... we cut our own lawn and pine straw does not fly up and hit you in the face, as mulch does, when hit with a weed wacker. Also, I always remember a good friend of mine, who owned his own exterminating business up north, telling us never to place mulch around our home, as it can be infested with termites. A whole different prospective.
