How Much Landscape Rock Do I Need?
At a standard 2 to 3 inch depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. Measure your bed's length and width, decide on 2 or 3 inches depending on how much clay showing through you want to hide, and order in full cubic yards since this is a one time install you want to get right the first time.

Complete Your Outdoor Project
Landscape fabric underneath is what makes rock a decade-long install instead of a weed patch, so order that alongside your rock if you don't already have it down. Steel or aluminum edging keeps rock from migrating into the lawn or mulch beds nearby, which matters more in clay soil where beds shift with wet and dry cycles.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Chapel Hill's red clay holds water right at the surface after storms, which means fabric alone won't stop weeds from rooting in silt that washes onto your rock over time. Add a thin layer of coarse sand or fine gravel under the fabric in low spots so water moves through instead of sitting, and keep the rock depth at a full 3 inches near downspouts and drainage paths, not the minimal 2 inch depth used elsewhere in the bed.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
The biggest mistake with rock beds under mature oaks, common near Franklin Street and older neighborhoods, is assuming they're maintenance free. Leaves settle into the gaps between stones and rot there, feeding weeds you didn't plant. Plan on blowing or raking rock beds clean twice a year, once after leaf drop in November and once in spring before pollen season, or the bed will look worse than mulch within two years.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Rock and mulch pair well on the same property instead of picking one. Use rock in the high visibility, low maintenance zones near the foundation and walkways where clay drainage is worst, and save mulch for planting beds where you want organic matter breaking down into the soil. This split saves you from re-mulching everything annually while keeping planted areas actually fed.
Decorative Stone in Chapel Hill
Red clay drains slow and cracks hard when it dries, so rock beds around downspouts and low spots do real work here, moving water away from foundations instead of letting it pool. With the zone 8a growing season running long, from March into November, organic mulch breaks down fast in the heat and humidity, rock does not, it just sits there looking finished. Franklin Street area homes and the older in-town lots often deal with heavy shade and leaf drop from mature oaks, and rock over fabric sheds that debris differently than mulch, though it does need occasional blowing out. This is a material for the parts of the yard where you want permanence, not a soil amendment.
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.
