Annapolis Landscape Rock Delivery

About this landscape rock

Smooth tumbled river rock, heavy enough to stay put in drainage runs and handsome enough for beds and borders.

Online ordering was really simple and I liked the transparent pricing.

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install depth for most groundcover and foundation beds. For heavier coverage or to bury edging better, figure closer to 3 inches and adjust the yardage up. Measure your bed's length and width first, then match that square footage against the coverage rate before ordering.

A yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 100-160 square feet at a 2-3 inch depth.

A ton is approximately 2,000 pounds. Coverage varies by stone type and depth, but as a general guideline, one ton covers roughly 80-100 square feet at 2 inches deep.

I contacted Mulch Mound for #57 river rocks and it was easy and fast to get a delivery right before the holiday weekend. Stone was delivered as promised and place exactly where I asked. Excellent service! I will be ordering mulch next!

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric underneath keeps the rock from sinking into the sandy loam over time, and steel or aluminum edging keeps it from migrating onto the lawn during storms. A lot of Annapolis jobs pair rock beds with mulch in the planting areas, using rock for the borders and walkways and mulch where roots need to breathe.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, especially in Annapolis's sandy loam. Loose soil here shifts under weight over a season or two, and rock without a barrier slowly works its way into the ground, leaving thin patches that need topping off. Fabric also blocks weed seed from below while letting water pass through, which matters given how much rain this region gets off the bay through spring and fall.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock traps fallen leaves instead of breaking them down, and Annapolis has plenty of shade trees dropping into beds each October. Plan on blowing or raking beds clear a few times through fall, especially before the first frost around October 25, or leaves will mat down and smother the stone's drainage function over winter.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock costs more upfront than mulch but it is not an annual expense, since a properly installed bed with fabric underneath can last a decade or more without a refresh. If budget is tight, use rock only where drainage and permanence matter most, like foundation lines and downspout aprons, and save mulch for planting beds where soil needs the organic matter rock cannot provide.

Decorative Stone in Annapolis

Annapolis yards near the water table and the sandy loam common around the Naval Academy area drain quickly, but heavy rain events still move loose material downhill toward driveways and low spots. Rock stays put where mulch washes, which matters on the sloped lots common in this city's older neighborhoods. It also handles the humid, salt-tinged air near the harbor without breaking down or fading the way organic mulch does. For foundation beds and downspout aprons, it sheds water instead of holding it against the house.

What Landscape Rock Is

Landscape rock is stone chosen for how it looks as much as what it does. River rock is smooth and rounded, decomposed granite is fine and packs firm underfoot. Both are sold by the cubic yard for beds, borders, paths, and dry creek beds.

River Rock vs Decomposed Granite

River rock stays loose and rolls, so it suits beds, borders, and drainage runs where it can sit in place. Decomposed granite compacts into a firm surface, so it suits paths, patios, and anywhere you will walk or roll a wheelbarrow.

Depth and Coverage

Spread river rock 2 to 3 inches deep over landscape fabric so it stays put and weeds stay down. Lay decomposed granite 3 to 4 inches deep, wet it, and compact it in lifts for a surface that sheds water instead of rutting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Will landscape rock work in Annapolis's clay-heavy spots near the water?

Yes, though drainage matters more there than in the sandier soil found elsewhere in the city. In low or heavy clay spots, grade the bed slightly so water moves away from the house rather than pooling under the rock, which can otherwise sit wet and grow algae or moss over time.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 200 square foot bed?

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs roughly 1.25 cubic yards. Round up slightly to account for edges and depth variation, since most beds are not perfectly flat or square.

Answer

Is there a bad time of year to install rock in Annapolis?

Late fall through winter is workable since rock does not depend on soil temperature or a growing season like plants do. The main timing consideration is leaf drop, since installing before trees finish shedding around late October means you will be clearing debris out of new rock almost immediately.

Answer

Can the delivery truck get down a narrow Annapolis driveway or street?

Most residential driveways handle delivery without issue, but some of the narrower streets in older parts of the city near the historic district can be tight for a full size truck. Let us know about access restrictions when you schedule so we can plan the drop location accordingly.

Answer

Should I choose landscape rock or mulch for a bed near my foundation?

Rock is generally the better choice against foundations since it does not hold moisture against the house the way mulch can, and it will not need replacing every year or two. Mulch is better suited to planting beds where you want organic matter breaking down into the sandy loam to feed root systems.
