Front yard reconstruction: anti weed

The rock garden is covered with an anti-weed fabric. I purchased the highest quality material I could find and put a quadruple overlapping layer down. Why so thick? Several reasons: the rocks are sharp and will sometime puncture the material. Also, once weeds get established they can ruin the look of a rock garden. Weeds will show up - dirt will land in the garden, it is unavoidable. But the weeds will be unable to get a very deep root system.

Next steps? Time for the side walk and to get the water fountain back into place.
