The weeds just grow through the filter cloth, unless you get the good stuff. Even then, it just delays it. The stuff you should be using should almost be tarp like on one side and kind of fury on the bottom. I did it with my mom's place about 10 years ago now, and we are to the point where I am thinking about replacing it.
If you did cedar chips, then you should put down new filter cloth and get rid of the rocks entirely.
You could also just do cedar mulch, which would be a bit cheaper, not need filter cloth and look a little better IMHO. The trade off is that you would need to reapply every 2-3 years to keep it looking good.
Regardless of what you do, short of concrete/paving stones, you will likely have the same issues though, so in the long run, you are best off doing whatever you think looks best.
