Bellefontaine 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.

At a standard 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. Measure your bed length by width, decide if you're going 2 inches for a lighter groundcover look or 3 inches for better weed suppression, then divide the square footage by the coverage number. Most Bellefontaine front beds run between 2 and 5 cubic yards depending on how much foundation frontage you're covering.

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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric underneath is worth the extra step here, it's what turns this from a five year fix into a decade long one, especially with the leaf litter this material collects. Edging material keeps rock from migrating into the lawn during Bellefontaine's freeze thaw season, and a lighter mulch delivery for planting beds nearby lets you keep organic matter where roots actually need it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before you spread rock, not after, and overlap the seams by at least six inches. In this region's silt loam, skipping fabric means the rock slowly sinks into the soil over a couple seasons and you lose depth exactly where drainage matters most, right along foundations and downspout aprons where Bellefontaine's runoff concentrates fastest.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock beds still need upkeep even though they don't decompose. Leaves off nearby trees settle into the stone every fall and, if left through winter, mat down and start decomposing right on top of the fabric, defeating the weed barrier. A leaf blower pass in November and again after the last hard freeze keeps beds looking installed rather than neglected.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because this is a one time install rather than an annual refresh like mulch, it's worth ordering slightly more than your calculated minimum on the first pass. Matching rock color and size later, once a supplier's stone lot changes, is harder than it sounds. A little overage now saves a mismatched patch job in a year or two.

Decorative Stone in Bellefontaine

Bellefontaine sits at the highest point in the state, and the silt loam soil here holds water longer than you'd think once it's saturated, especially on the grades running off Campbell Hill. Rock beds handle that runoff better than mulch does, since they don't compact into mud or wash downhill the way organic material can on a slope. With zone 6a winters bringing freeze thaw cycles, decorative stone also won't heave or break down the way a bark product will over a few seasons. It's a common choice here for beds along foundations where downspouts dump water fast.

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

Answer

How long does landscape rock actually last in Bellefontaine's climate?

Decorative rock doesn't break down like mulch, so with fabric underneath it typically holds its look for a decade or more, even through zone 6a's freeze thaw cycles. What changes over time is settling and leaf buildup, not the stone itself. Occasional raking and topping off low spots is usually all it needs.

Answer

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

At a 2 inch depth, coverage runs about 162 square feet per cubic yard, so a 200 square foot bed needs roughly 1.25 cubic yards. Round up to 1.5 to account for settling and uneven ground, especially if your bed has any slope typical of Bellefontaine's terrain.

Answer

What time of year should I install rock beds here?

Anytime the ground isn't frozen works, but late spring after the last frost around April 25 or early fall before October 15 gives you dry soil conditions that make grading and fabric laying easier. Avoid installing right after heavy rain, since silt loam gets soft and hard to work with a wheelbarrow.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock?

The load gets dropped wherever you specify, typically a driveway or the closest flat spot to your project area, and delivery timing is confirmed at checkout. Make sure there's clear truck access beforehand, especially if your property has a narrow driveway or grade change near the street.

Answer

Should I use rock or mulch around my foundation?

Rock holds up better right against foundations since it won't decompose, feed insects, or hold moisture against siding the way mulch can. It's a poor choice around plants that want organic matter added back to the soil though, so many Bellefontaine yards use rock along the house and mulch further out in planting beds.
