One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install thickness for most bed and groundcover applications. If you want more coverage per yard you can hold at 2 inches, or go to 3 inches for heavier foot traffic areas or steeper grades where you want the stone to stay in place. Measure your bed square footage first, then work backward from the 162 square foot figure to land on a yard count.

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.

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

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade-long install instead of a rock pile full of weeds by next summer. A steel or aluminum edging strip keeps the stone from migrating into the lawn, especially important in Bellmore's sandy loam where soil shifts more than clay ever would. If any beds border plantings that want real soil feeding, consider keeping mulch there and rock only where a permanent, low-maintenance surface makes sense.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Bellmore's sandy loam, skip the temptation to skip fabric underneath your rock. Sandy soil lets fines from the base migrate up between stones over a few seasons, and without a barrier you'll be pulling weeds out of gravel by year three. Lay heavy landscape fabric, overlap seams by at least six inches, and pin it every few feet before the rock goes down. That one extra step is what turns this into a true decade-long install instead of a five year redo.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see on the South Shore is installing rock flush against wood fencing or siding without a gap. Rock holds moisture against those surfaces longer than mulch does since it doesn't absorb water, and combined with Bellmore's humid summers that can mean rot at the base of fences. Leave a few inches of clearance or use a paver edge to keep the stone from directly contacting wood.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order the full cubic yard count in one delivery rather than splitting a project into two trips. Partial loads mean partial truck trips, and matching stone color and size across separate deliveries isn't guaranteed since it's regionally sourced and batches vary. One full load also means one day of disruption to your driveway instead of two.

Decorative Stone in Bellmore

Bellmore sits low, around 20 feet in elevation, with sandy loam that drains quickly but also shifts when storm water pushes across a yard. Rock groundcover stays put in that soil where bark mulch tends to float toward the curb after a downpour. It works well tucked against foundations and around downspouts near Mill Pond Park style drainage runs, where water needs somewhere to go without eroding the bed. In zone 7b, freeze thaw cycles through the winter don't break down stone the way they break down organic mulch, so beds keep their shape into spring.

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

How deep should I install landscape rock in my Bellmore yard?

Two to three inches is standard for most beds and groundcover areas. Two inches works fine over fabric in low traffic beds, while three inches holds better on slopes or areas near downspouts where water runoff could otherwise shift a thinner layer.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 300 square foot bed?

At a 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 300 square foot bed needs roughly 2 cubic yards. Round up slightly rather than down, since running short mid-project means a second delivery.

Answer

What time of year should I install landscape rock here?

Rock can go down any time the ground isn't frozen, so outside the Nov 15 to Apr 7 frost window is easiest for digging and edging. Many Bellmore homeowners install in early fall before leaf drop, since rock left uncovered during peak leaf season means extra raking later.

Answer

Where will the truck place the rock on delivery day?

We drop the load in your driveway or at the curb, wherever gives the truck clearest access, and you choose that spot at checkout. If you need it moved further back on the property, plan on a wheelbarrow or have help ready, since the truck itself won't cross lawns or tight side yards.

Answer

Should I use rock or mulch around my foundation plantings?

Rock works well directly against foundations and around downspouts where drainage matters more than soil health. For beds with plants that want organic matter feeding the soil, mulch is the better choice, since rock traps leaves and debris without breaking down into the ground the way mulch does.
