Apr 12, 2010, Can you have a garden path without weeds?

I had this gardening question from a website visitor today:

I love the path in your garden picture. I have made stone paths, but all I did was keep weeds from coming through landscape cloth and small stones. Any ideas of a walkway path without weeds? What do you do?
