Astilbes form tough root systems once established. I cover mine with about an 1-2 inches of soil. I think you would be wise to use something like the chicken wire until they are established. I also use ground cinnamon, garlic powder, and chili pepper to discourage some of those types of critter pests.
I garden for the pollinators.
