Crushed rock or pea gravel work well at the bottom of a raised bed to improve drainage, particularly in beds more than 18 inches tall or where the bed is in an area of the yard with poor drainage. You can buy crushed rock and gravel from home improvement centers or rock yards.
The river rock will still grow weeds---once dirt sifts in on TOP of the plastic. The multiple layers of newspaper trick works--even without the plastic--but your landscaper may not be willing to do it. I don't know what the solution is, but it ISN'T plastic.etter for the plants and a lot less work when adding or moving plants. River rock should be used in areas that will not contain plants. Beside pathways, dry river beds, around the air conditioner etc. In my last house I put down black plastic and covered it with rocks-more than one layer.
