question

Hi, all, am hoping that someone can help me out with this.....I have an area
in front of my house that needs some drastic work.  It is covered mostly
with gravel and some dirt mixed in, with mulch that was piled on top.....and
TONS of weeks....almost looks like a lawn!  We want to do something to
neaten it up, without having to spend a fortune to have the gravel removed
and soil brought in.  Someone suggested using Roundup to kill the weeds,
then covering with black plastic, and covering that with mulch....and
planting some shrubs by the porch and house.

However, someone else said that she would never use black plastic, that it
keeps the weeds from coming straight up, but does not prevernt them from
growing.....and she suggested just piling a severl-inch layer of mulch each
year.

I would love to hear suggestions from people here.....thanks!
