I wouldn't/don't do it.
Weed wack or material as a weed block.
'Someday' I'd like to put down some sort of crushed stone over weed barrier to create a path.
A friend of mine lives on a mountain. He has been excavating his own cave/wine celler.
The entire mountainside is
volcanic tuff.
I can have as much as I want. 'Someday'.
