I'll second the drain rock suggestion. Chas has it on the head.
Secondly, yes, the weeds will come up through it, BUUUUT if you are diligent about using one of those propane torch weed killers, they should taper off. The new seeds won't germinate worth a damn on top of the rock, and once the seeds/weeds underneath are all pau, the task of keeping it clear will get easier and easier.
If you intend to use said torch, don't let the weeds get so thick that you'll start a fire that can sustain itself. If you let guinea grass grow 3' tall, for instance.
