How Much Landscape Rock Do I Need?
How Much Landscape Rock Do I Need?
Landscape rock is sold by the cubic yard and typically goes down 2 to 3 inches deep, with one cubic yard covering about 162 square feet at the 2 inch depth. Measure your bed's length and width, multiply for square footage, then divide by 162 to get a rough yard count at standard depth. If you want the deeper 3 inch coverage for a foundation strip or high traffic edge, plan on roughly two thirds that coverage per yard.

One of the easiest customer service experiences I've had in a long time! Mulch Mound made it so simple. After putting it off for a while, I looked at the weather and knew I needed to get to mulching ASAP before the rain came if I didn't want to wait another week. I put my order in for the next day online and they came right at 9 AM. The employee who dropped off the mulch did a great job, putting it right on the tarp I laid out, she even made sure none of it got on the yard and double checked the truck bed to make sure it all came out. The mulch was exactly what I needed and arrived right on time.

We have always spread our own mulch for the past 24 years. This was our first time with the Mulch Mound - things I liked: they have online ordering and provide a digital receipt which means you can remember how much you ordered (I always forget for the next year!), they were on time, they were able to deliver in 48 hours, they were generous with the portion (we got 9 yards and it felt like a FULL nine yards!), the driver was polite! We have ordered from reputable places, and there is always a little trash in the mulch. The mulch we recv'd from Mulch Mound had barely any... we were pleasant surprised!!! Color was great! Not to mention - the price was competitive and LOWER than other mulch places around. We will use again !! Highly recommend! Thanks Mulch Mound!
Complete Your Outdoor Project
Most Aurora jobs pair landscape rock with a layer of landscape fabric underneath to block weeds and keep the clay loam from working its way up into the stone. Steel or plastic edging keeps the rock contained along driveways and walkways, which matters on sloped Aurora lots where runoff wants to carry material downhill. Some customers add a strip of mulch near plant beds where organic matter still matters, using rock only where they want a true no maintenance zone.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
In Aurora's clay loam, skip laying fabric directly on bare soil after a rain, wet clay compacts hard under fabric and creates a slick layer that sheds water sideways instead of down. Let the soil dry out for a day or two first, rough it up with a rake, then lay fabric and rock. This keeps drainage working the way it should through spring runoff season instead of pooling at bed edges.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
The biggest mistake we see in Aurora yards is rock installed flush against stucco or siding with no gap. Leave at least 2 inches of clearance between the stone and the wall so splash back and freeze thaw cycles at 5471 feet don't wick moisture into the wall material over time. It is a small detail that saves siding repairs down the road.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Because rock is a one time install rather than an annual refresh, it pays to order slightly more than your calculated minimum, an extra half yard costs less hassle than a second delivery for a thin patch. Pair it with mulch in planting pockets where you actually want organic matter breaking down, and save straight rock coverage for pathways, downspout zones, and foundation strips where drainage matters more than soil health.
Decorative Stone in Aurora
At 5471 feet, Aurora sees intense UV and big daily temperature swings, conditions that break down organic mulch fast but do nothing to decorative stone. The clay loam common across Aurora lots holds water after spring snowmelt, so a rock bed set over fabric keeps foundations and downspout areas dry instead of soggy. Because the growing season is short here, from last frost in early May to first frost in early October, homeowners want beds that look finished year round without a spring refresh. Rock delivers that, especially in front yard groundcover areas where low maintenance matters more than soil building.
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.
