My central air conditioning unit is located in a spot where the eaves are so
deep that even after lots of rain, it's still bone dry, but bindweed finds
the area delightful and it's eating my air conditioner. I thought of
covering the whole area with plastic and then a few inches of stones right
up to the foundation, but I have another concern. In winter, it's not
uncommon for several feet of snow to drift into that corner. When it melts,
I'm not sure I want that much water ponding in the plastic and overflowing
along the edges near the cinder block. The basement's always been dry, but
still, something about the plastic idea seems iffy. So, some sort of
landscape fabric seems like a better option.

Regardless of the material on top, I'm thinking of edging it with Trex
buried with just enough above ground to contain 2-3 inches of stones.

I avoid weed killers, since so many animals use my yard as a dinner table,
but I might make an exception in this instance because once the area is
covered, nothing will be eating there unless there's a type of animal which
eats stones the size of ping pong balls.

How about just grading the area so that water runs off the plastic
rather than ponding. Direct it away from the house.

If you wanted to get fancy, install a french drain system.

Why not a precast concrete or recycled pop bottle AC pad, tilted
slightly away from the house to prevent ponding? They come in several
sizes, and can pretty easily be slipped under the AC unit without
disconnecting it. May need a few shims under the coil box to keep it
level, but that is easy enough. If there is slack in the cables and
hoses, also a good idea to raise the box up a few inches.

You are right about the plastic being a bad idea. We have landscape
fabric, available in different strengths, with river rock on top and
used in similar areas where nothing grows. We have Trex on our finger
dock, about 7 years old. Full sun, all day, Florida. Concrete pavers
or black vinyl lawn edging work nicely around the rock and contain it well.

Hmm. A French drain. Does that mean it only works 30 hours a
week, drinks up all your red wine, and has a mistress on the
side?

Then I think the patio pavers would be the best solution. I just string
trim, would still need to edge around patio blocks or anything else, but
I've no idea if you have lawn. I'd choose most anything before small
stones... a plastic edging filled with pine bark nuggets like I have
prevents weeds (I have barrier cloth under the nuggets). I had to install
the fence as that is the third shrub, deer got the previous two... nothing
else works other than fencing.

Originally I had no fence, a week later I had no shrub, that little cyprus
is long gone:
http://i39.tinypic.com/2pzf8yd.jpg

You can use 6X6 landscape ties too... one morning I woke up to shrubs
munched down to nubs, so that's why I now have fence all around:
http://i44.tinypic.com/119qjya.jpg

Once the shrubs grow and the galvanized wire fencing dulls it's not very
noticeable:
http://i43.tinypic.com/zsscw1.jpg

I learned long ago not to skimp on landscaping lumber/materials, I hate do
overs.

I spent a fortune on every deer repellant on the market, spent many, many
hours spraying, even in fridgid winter weather, and then having to wash the
stink off my clothes and myself... all to no avail... only a fence works.

Yeah, it's one of those - whichever one grows all over western NY. It's
actually a good ground cover, as long as there's nothing nearby which you do
NOT want it to wrap itself around, like your favorite plants, shrubs, air
conditioning unit, car or children.
