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

Easy to order, great service, and great product. We enjoy the final look of a very neglected beds we inherited!

At the standard 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the 2 inch mark, less if you go deeper. Measure your bed length by width, decide your depth based on whether it's decorative or functional coverage, and order in full or half yard increments rather than guessing low. Most Centennial front yard beds run 2 to 4 yards, foundation strips less.

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.

A ton is 2,000 pounds of material. As a general guideline, one ton of rock covers roughly 100 square feet at 2 inches deep, depending on rock size and density.

I recently ordered from mulch mound and was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of the experience. The entire process, from placing the order to delivery was seamless and efficient. The mulch arrived exactly on time, and the quality exceeded my expectations. The color was rich and consistent, and I received more than enough to complete my project with proper coverage and packing.

Customer service was equally outstanding. Communication was clear, and the team was responsive and professional throughout. It’s rare to find a company that delivers both a high-quality product and excellent service, but mulch mound did just that.

Highly recommended, and I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric underneath is the difference between a decade-long install and a weed patch by year two, so budget for it if you don't already have it down. Steel or aluminum edging keeps rock from migrating into the lawn, especially where Centennial's clay heaves a bit with freeze thaw cycles each winter. Some customers pair a rock bed with a mulched section for perennials that actually want organic matter feeding the soil.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Centennial's clay compacts hard once it's wet, so lay landscape fabric before rock goes down rather than after, otherwise you're fighting mud through the stone for a week. Rake the base level first, since clay dries into ridges that telegraph right through a 2 inch layer. If you're working near the freeze thaw line, expect a little settling the first spring and plan to top off thin spots rather than treating day one as final.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake here is skipping edging because the bed looks fine at install. By the second winter, freeze thaw movement in our clay pushes rock outward and it ends up in the lawn or the gutter line. A steel edge set two inches deep solves this permanently and costs far less in labor than repeatedly raking rock back into place every spring.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock is a one time cost that mulch isn't, so run the math over five years rather than comparing a single season's price. If you're doing multiple beds, order all the rock in one delivery even if you're installing in phases, since minimum delivery charges apply per trip and stone doesn't degrade sitting in a covered pile.

Decorative Stone in Centennial

Centennial's clay soil holds water in spring and cracks hard by August, which is exactly the kind of swing that rots organic mulch fast but does nothing to rock. At 5,837 feet the sun is intense and UV breaks down wood mulch color within a season or two, while stone holds its tone. Around Centennial Center Park and in the older neighborhoods nearby, a lot of homeowners are moving beds to rock specifically because they're tired of the annual refresh. It's also the practical choice for downspout aprons, since our clay doesn't drain fast and rock won't wash out or float like mulch does in a hard spring runoff.

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

Does landscape rock work well with Centennial's clay soil or will it cause drainage problems?

Rock itself drains fine, the concern is what's underneath it. Clay already sheds water slowly, so make sure beds are graded away from the foundation before installing, and use fabric to keep rock from sinking into saturated clay after spring runoff. Done right, rock beds handle our wet spring to dry summer swing better than mulch does.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a typical front yard bed?

A cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at 2 inches deep, so a 300 square foot bed needs roughly 2 yards at that depth, closer to 3 if you go to 3 inches. Measure your actual bed area first, since guessing usually undershoots and means a second delivery.

Answer

What time of year should I install rock in Centennial?

Anytime the ground isn't frozen works, but late spring after the last frost around May 5 gives you dry soil to work with before summer heat. Fall installs before the October 5 first frost also work well since the clay is easier to grade when it's not saturated from spring runoff.

Answer

Where will the rock be dropped and can the truck get up my driveway?

The truck places the load as close to your project area as access allows, typically in the driveway or a cleared spot on the property. Let us know at checkout if you have a narrow driveway, low branches, or gate restrictions so the delivery can be routed accordingly.

Answer

Is rock a better long term choice than mulch for my Centennial yard?

It depends on the bed. Rock is a one time install that holds up against our UV and clay conditions for a decade or more, but it won't feed the soil the way mulch does. For beds with plants that want organic matter, mulch still wins, for foundation lines and low maintenance groundcover, rock is the better long term call.
