My shady backyard garden was in sore need of some TLC. This is what we did yesterday...
This is a simple way to clean up and keep weeds out of an area where I don't really grow anything. The wood chips look a little garish at first, but they do mellow to a nice earthy grey in a year or so.
The boys helped out, and this scarecrow-ish looking chap spread the chips out after Levi shoveled and delivered them by the wheelbarrow load.

So you just lay newspapers? is that instead of weed mat?
Yes, I just use a thick mat (6 or so sheets) that I soak in a tub of water first. This helps them cling to the ground and not blow away. It works better than the weed mat that I've used.
