Did you know that mulch is a magnet for roaches and termites Pine bark and other decomposable landscape materials are magnets for a lot of insects that can cause havoc on your home and the people inside. As a owner of a landscape company for 18 years, I tend to recommend flower beds that owners want mulched to be away from the base of homes. Insects like termites and roaches thrive on dark moist locations and when they have a the need to breed they look at your home to do it in. Landscape fabric is a solution and some only last for 15 years but if you properly maintain it then it can stay beautiful a lot longer. Ask a pro for recommendations on fabric. Most will recommend nursery fabric not the stuff you buy at the the local hardware stores. A lot of homeowners place it down and place rocks down and think well they don't have to do anything to it. Thats is wrong....no matter what you use there is still maintenance to it. Spray for weeds or hand pull anything you see and yes rock will settle just like anything you place on the ground but its more easier to place more rock to an area than to mulch. With mulch you cant get a uniform look without doing the entire mulch area or the new will stick out from the old. If you you are looking for someone else to maintain your landscape creation and they refuse then know they are not a pro or they don't feel that they would be making any profit from you so look somewhere else. A pro can do any job big or small. This project looks well done and classic.
