depends on the weight of the fabric, you can get various and usually the weight reflects how long the fabric itself will last. For example a 3.2 OZ is generally 15 year Fabric, 5OZ 25 year, etc.
The common misconception about Landscape Fabric is that it will keep all weeds out, this is not true. Dirt and weed seeds will blow in and grow in your rocks, mulch, etc. That doesn't mean you shouldn't use it as the Landscape fabric will help to deter A LOT of weed growth in your beds.
