We bought this three years ago to cover flower beds, in order to eliminate the need for constant weeding.
It was laid over a kind of mesh - very easy to do, cut crosses in the mesh to insert the plants we wanted (mainly shrubs) and then spread over the lapillo at a depth of about 2cm.
Three years on, I can say we are totally satisfied. The odd weeds do sprout up in the Spring but they root only in the lapillo so are very easy to extract. The rain goes through the mesh and I do think the lapillo also keep the roots of our plants cooler and helps retain humidity in the soil.
I thoroughly recommend!
