Finally getting around to putting shrubs in front of our house that we built in '08. Our last houses have always had rock around the shrubs but then I see many others that use wood chips.
Initially I'm leaning towards rock primarily to make fall clean up easier by just using a blower to get the leaves out. Plus, it would seem like the chips would need to be added to periodiacally. Other than asthetics, are there advantages to using chips?
Also, I'm trying to decide on a type of edging. I need something that won't get wrecked when the kid runs into it with the mower.
