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

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, or a bit less if you go to 3 inches for better weed suppression. Measure your bed's length and width, multiply for square footage, then divide by 162 to get a rough yard count at standard depth. Most Bethpage front yard beds run 1 to 3 cubic yards, but foundation borders around a typical ranch or colonial can need more once you wrap the whole house.

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 sinking into sandy loam within a year. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the stone contained along driveways and walkways, and a border of mulch in adjacent planting beds gives a visual break between the two materials. If you're doing foundation beds, downspout extensions paired with the rock help move water away from the sandy soil instead of letting it pool.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Bethpage's sandy loam, skip laying rock directly on grade even with fabric down, the sand underneath will eventually let stones migrate and settle unevenly after a few freeze thaw cycles. Excavate 3 to 4 inches, compact the base, then lay fabric and rock. This extra step costs an afternoon but is the difference between a bed that looks the same in year eight and one that needs regrading by year three.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see locally is installing rock right before leaf drop in October and November. Oaks and maples around Bethpage shed heavily right before that Nov 15 average first frost, and leaves settle into rock beds fast. If you can, install in early spring after last frost around April 1, or plan on a leaf blower pass every week or two through fall.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order slightly more than your calculated yardage if you're running rock along a foundation with corners and downspout cutouts, since cutting around obstacles wastes more material than a straight run. It's also worth pairing leftover rock with a paver or stepping stone path, since the extra yardage rarely goes to waste on a property with more than one bed.

Decorative Stone in Bethpage

Bethpage sits on sandy loam that drains quickly, which is exactly the kind of soil where rock groundcover holds up without shifting or sinking over time. With zone 7b winters bringing freeze thaw cycles from November through April, organic mulches break down and need replacing, but screened rock over fabric just sits there through it. It suits front yard beds near the Black Course side of town where a clean, low maintenance look matters, and it works hard around downspouts where washout is a real problem on sandy ground. Just know it will trap the oak and maple leaves that come down before that Nov 15 first frost, so plan on a fall blow out or two.

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 well in Bethpage's clay or sandy soil?

Bethpage sits mostly on sandy loam, which actually drains better than clay and is a good base for rock groundcover once you compact it and lay fabric. The main risk is settling if you skip base prep, not drainage problems. Excavating a few inches before installing keeps the rock from working its way into loose sand over time.

Answer

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

At the standard 2 inch install depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs roughly 1.25 cubic yards. Round up to 1.5 yards to account for uneven ground and edges. Going to a 3 inch depth for better coverage will push that closer to 2 full yards.

Answer

When is the best time of year to install rock in Bethpage?

Early spring after the last frost around April 1 is ideal, since the ground is workable and you avoid the heavy leaf drop that hits before the Nov 15 first frost. Installing right before fall means dealing with leaves in the rock almost immediately. Spring or even mid summer installs give the bed a clean start.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock on my property?

Our driver drops the load as close to your project area as your driveway or curb access allows, typically needing about 10 feet of clearance. You choose your delivery date at checkout. Let us know ahead of time about low hanging branches, narrow gates, or tight turns so we can plan the drop accurately.

Answer

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

Rock is the better call right against a foundation since it does not hold moisture against the house and it is a one time install rather than an annual refresh. Mulch feeds the soil and suits beds with plants that want organic matter. Many Bethpage homeowners use rock along the foundation and mulch further out where plantings need it.
