Depends. What are wanting to do? And how exposed is the area you are landscaping

We just did literally tons of different rocks instead of mulch. Never fades.

we did lava rock and we love it. Mulch was too much maintenance.

Rock is much, much harder to install because of weight and spreading.

Rocks. There are weed killers that kill anything and last 12 months. Easy.

If it’s a windy area do rocks. Every wind storm mulch blows into my grass.
