Hello, I have a small area in my backyard that I use for the patio speaker and for some plants. I layed matrix landscape fabric pinned to the ground and then over it some landcape rocks. What I want to know is do I need to place mulch over the fabric and then the rocks or is the rocks over the fabric ok?
It depends if you don't mind seeing the fabric in between the rocks. If you don't want to see it, then a bark chipping type mulch would be ideal, it would be more effective all over with the rocks on top but you could just lay it in between the rocks, but I don't think that would give you such a neat and finished look.
The landscape fabric will do that, what goes on top is for aesthetics really. So providing the fabric is all over the places where the weeds are, this should keep them down.
Having said that, if it's going to be "permanent" it's a good idea to thoroughly dig over and weed the ground or maybe consider applying weedkiller. before the fabric goes down. That way you stand the best chance of properly conquering any weeds.
No worries:) when I said patio speaker i meant a speaker that people use outside usually in the patio for music. In my case I have a rock for a speaker to blend in with the landscape.
