One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, or roughly 108 square feet if you go closer to 3 inches for better weed and erosion control. Measure your bed's length and width, decide on depth based on how exposed it is to runoff, and order in full cubic yards since this is a one time install you want to get right the first time. Most single bed projects in this city run between 2 and 5 cubic yards.

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.

Landscaping fabric underneath is worth doing right the first time, since pulling rock back up later to fix a bare fabric patch is a real hassle. Edging material keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn, especially where clay loam soil shifts a bit with freeze and thaw. Some customers also order a bit of topsoil or mulch for adjoining planting beds delivered the same trip.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscaping fabric before you spread rock, not after, and overlap the seams by at least 6 inches. In Chambersburg's clay loam, skipping fabric means weeds root directly into the compacted soil beneath the stone within a season or two, and once that happens you are pulling rock back up to fix it. Pin the fabric down every few feet so it doesn't shift during install or the first hard rain.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see locally is spreading rock too thin near downspouts, where clay loam soil already struggles to absorb runoff. Go with the fuller 3 inch depth in those spots specifically, even if the rest of the bed is closer to 2 inches. Thin coverage there just means the water channels straight through and erodes a trench in a season.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Since this is a one time install rather than an annual refresh, it pays to order slightly more than your calculated minimum rather than run short mid project. A partial second delivery costs more in time and hassle than a little extra stone sitting in reserve. Pair the order with edging in the same delivery if your project includes bed borders, since one truck trip covers both.

Decorative Stone in Chambersburg

Chambersburg sits on clay loam that drains slowly, especially after the wetter stretches leading into our April 28 last frost. Rock beds placed along foundations and downspouts give water somewhere to go besides sitting against your siding. Because the ground here freezes solidly enough through zone 7a winters, a properly bedded rock installation stays put and does not heave the way loose gravel sometimes does on lighter soils. It is a common choice for the front yard beds you see around older homes near downtown and the Heritage Center area.

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 long does landscape rock actually last once it's installed?

Landscape rock is a permanent groundcover, not something you refresh yearly like mulch. Installed over fabric with proper edging, it can hold its look and function for a decade or more in Chambersburg's climate. The main upkeep is occasionally blowing out trapped leaves each fall, since the stone does not break down or need topping off like organic mulch does.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a bed along my foundation?

One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at 2 inches deep, or about 108 square feet at 3 inches. Measure your bed's length times width, then divide by whichever coverage number matches your planned depth. Most foundation runs in this city need somewhere between 1 and 3 cubic yards depending on how far the bed extends from the house.

Answer

Is there a bad time of year to install rock in Chambersburg?

Rock can go down any time the ground isn't frozen or saturated, so avoid the depths of winter and the muddiest stretches right around our April 28 last frost. Fall after leaf drop or late spring once soil has firmed up are both solid windows. Since it's a permanent install, timing matters less than getting the fabric and edging prep right.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock, and what do I need to prepare?

The truck places your load at a driveway or curb spot you specify at checkout, so pick a location with clear access for a full size delivery vehicle. Have a path ready between that spot and your project area for wheelbarrowing, and clear any low hanging branches or tight turns the truck would need to navigate.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for beds around my house?

Rock makes sense for foundation beds, downspout areas, and low maintenance front yard groundcover since it does not need refreshing and holds up in clay loam soil that drains slowly. Mulch is better where you have plants that benefit from organic matter breaking down into the soil. Many Chambersburg yards use both, rock near the house and mulch further out in planting beds.
