That's going to be great!
Make sure you get every last little piece of Bermuda grass root out of there or it will come back with a vengeance.
I would also recommend going a step further and put in a deep plastic border under the rocks to help slow it down, but it will still get in.![Mad :x](./images/smilies/icon_mad.gif)

I think it looks great.
Bermuda grass is a pain in the butt. I have that in my yard. I wanna go back in time and murder who ever put that stuff into my yard. It's impossible to kill with out using agent orange, or round up. However I do not wish to spray anything nasty into my yard so I am trying to devise a way short of a back hoe to get it out.

yeah, those roots can go down a foot. And they are a creeping type grass(dunno if there is a special name for that or not, probably is) so they will send those roots down to a foot and then it will grow down there and create huge patches of grass.
