[quote=Anonymous]Mulch can help with weeds, OP, but it isn't weedblock. You have to weed by hand. The good thing is that weeds that root in mulch are usually a lot easier to pull out. Spraying chemicals doesn't prevent weeds. You can spray the weeds and they will die, but new ones will appear. You can have the landscapers put down weedblock (fabric) under the mulch that will keep new weeds from sprouting up for a year or maybe two. Some weed seeds will blow in and root in the mulch on top of the weedblock fabric and you'll need to pull those. You could do weedblock fabric covered by stone mulch and that will be slower to get weeds. Another approach is not to use either fabric or much mulch, but instead densely plant ground cover that will suppress weeds and I think looks a lot nicer than bare mulch.[/quote]
