Crunch,

I did tons of river rounds at my old house, used the landscape fabric as a base/barrier. It is not maintenance free as Denwood said. Besides leaf debris getting in it, if it is shady you will get mold as well. You can spray it with a bleach solution to clean it up, maybe pressure wash it ? I did not have a pressure washer at the time.

I had hoped that it would be low maintenance, I found that plain cedar mulch on top of the ground was actually easier. When you have to replant a bed that has river rounds it is a major undertaking, whereas mulch is no big deal. My wife frequently changes her garden plants so I am not doing rock ever again. A small dose of stone goes a long way.
