hey all,
what i do with ANY kind of stone/rock walking surface is to kill  the area 
off first, then lay a THICK weed barrier down.  i can only find it  one place, 
the big orange store.
the fabric is like gray flannel; heavy, spun, and opaque.  you  know you 
found it when the price is very much higher than the black  junk.
this is the only product i use on all my commercial walks, wall  backup, etc 
etc, anywhere where you dont want the rock going DOWN in the dirt,  or the 
dirt or weeds coming UP thru the rock.
this stuff save's my clients in tons of maintenance.
we're using a new walking surface, made of crushed slate.  the  look is 
great, the texture is medium fine, and the color is a darl gray.   after a few 
rains, it sets up like concrete too.
our local supplier calls it "trail mix", buti didnt see any raisins  or 
cashews.
