At a 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. Measure your bed length by width, decide on 2 inches for a lighter accent look or closer to 3 inches for better weed suppression, then order by the cubic yard. Most front yard beds in Bowling Green run 2 to 5 cubic yards depending on how much lawn you are converting.

The triple shredded mulch was great quality and just what we were looking for.
Landscaping fabric underneath is what makes this a decade-long install instead of a weedy mess, so plan on that as a base layer. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn, especially useful on the clay soil common around here where beds settle unevenly. If you are lining a foundation or downspout run, a few larger accent stones at the outflow point help break up water before it channels through the smaller rock.
Service area
Lay landscaping fabric before you spread rock, not after. On Bowling Green's clay soil, skipping the fabric means the rock works its way down into the ground within a couple seasons and you end up hand picking stone out of mud. Overlap fabric seams by at least 6 inches and pin every 3 feet, clay shifts more than sandy soil does during freeze thaw cycles, and loose fabric will bunch and show through.
The biggest mistake we see locally is spreading rock too deep, thinking more coverage means less maintenance. Past 3 inches you actually trap more leaf litter and organic debris that then decomposes into the rock itself, creating a thin soil layer that lets weeds root right on top. Stick to the 2 to 3 inch range and blow out leaves each fall before they compost in place.
Order slightly more than your calculated cubic yardage, maybe 10 percent extra, rather than trying to source a small top off load later. Rock color and screening can vary batch to batch, and matching a small future order exactly is harder than it sounds. It also gives you a stockpile for edging repairs after a hard freeze thaw winter shifts your border stones.
Bowling Green sits on karst terrain with clay soil underneath, the kind of ground that sheds water fast in a downpour and turns slick when it is wet. Decorative rock does not break down or wash away like mulch does on that clay, which makes it a solid choice for slopes, foundation beds, and anywhere downspouts dump water during our spring rains. With a growing zone of 6b and a real winter freeze thaw cycle, organic mulch has to be refreshed yearly, rock does not. It also suits the low-maintenance front yard style common in newer Bowling Green subdivisions where homeowners want beds that hold their look without constant upkeep.
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 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.
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.
