Re: House Projects

No fabric. B&D Bobcat Landscaping told me not to. They plastic under rock, but not under mulch. They recommend about 2" of mulch, and that alone should stop most weeds from coming through because they will be smoldered under it. Then every year or two add about 1" as you'll lose about that much from it decomposing. The decomposing of the mulch will be good for any sort of bushes/brush you plant in it. Those should survive fine because they are above the mulch. But the weeds underneath should stay mostly at bay. Although I'm sure I will see a couple sprout here and there, nothing keeps them 100% at bay.

That's what they told me, and my dad agreed, so that's the way I'm doing it.
