While considering the need for the unused area in your household to be
used in a good way and not let weeds grow there, you have any options to
choose. Many houses have such areas mostly in between their home and
fence which because of the lack of much care and use become the favorite
place for weeds. With proper care and planning, you could make use of
this area in a wonderful manner so that it will become an added pride
for your home. According to the reports of 'building inspection Sydney'
(http://www.effectiveconsultancy.com.au/) real estate agents get done by
building inspection experts, there are various options you could make
use of. Planting a flower bed in the area will surely beautify your
home. In order to avoid weeds growing on the area, you could make use of
landscape fabrics, organic mulches, crushed stone or black plastic.

Most of the people consider laying planting landscape fabrics instead of
other options because of various reasons. Compared to landscape fabrics,
all other options have got many disadvantages that make people hesitate
to use them. The major drawback cited about organic mulches is that they
eventually decompose and the process of decomposition is hastened by the
contact with soil. Also, there is another problem that as they
decompose, they become fertile ground for weeds. Crushed stone is
inorganic mulch which won’t decompose. But the problem is that stone
easily works its way into the soil. Also, there is another drawback that
it is hard to keep clean and draws considerable heat to the soil. Black
plastic also do not decompose, but unlike stone it is easy to keep
clean. The major problems associated with black plastic are that it not
only does draw heat, but also prevents air, water and nutrients from
penetrating into the soil. Because of all these reasons people prefer
landscape fabrics to other options.

I find using landscape fabric is what works best for me in controlling
weeds.
