Rocks Driveway - Don't Want Weeds!
I am going to be putting in a rock driveway on what is now dirt. I really really want to make sure I can best protect against weeds. Nothing annoys me more than weeds growing up through rocks and other landscape designs. Attached is a photo of where the rocks driveway will go.
When speaking with my builder who is going to be installing the rocks for the driveway, he said he typically doesn't use a barrier for weeds because he has noticed that the seeds end up just sitting on top of the barrier over time and they end up being even more intrusive than if you just were to lay the rocks down. Is this true? And does anyone have any other recommendations for preventing weeds for a project like this - whether it is pre-emergent, barriers, etc.? Also, is there a healthier alternative to Roundup that people like?
