No, to the stones.

They do not prevent weeds even with the landscape fabric and are a pain to deal with.

Best way I have found.

First, clear the area.

Next go over the area with a weed burner.

Next lay down the landscape fabric.

If you want walking paths lay down pavers and mulch the edges.

Otherwise just mulch.

We put in the pavers because as you get older you get a bit less steady and walking on on mulch can be a hazard and pushing a wheel chair is very difficult.

My dad needs his chair some days but he is still able to go out and move around the garden area in it.

I live in Arizona where stones are used everywhere. They make everything harder, and are not easily undone.

I would personally want to go with fake turf or concrete, but I am not a nature lover, and I have a wife, and not a lot of money.
