At a 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the thinner end of that range. Measure your bed length by width, decide if you want 2 or 3 inches deep, and order in full cubic yards since this is a one time install you want to get right the first time. Most front yard beds in Cheyenne run 3 to 6 cubic yards depending on how much lawn is being converted.

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.

One of the easiest customer service experiences I've had in a long time! Mulch Mound made it so simple. After putting it off for a while, I looked at the weather and knew I needed to get to mulching ASAP before the rain came if I didn't want to wait another week. I put my order in for the next day online and they came right at 9 AM. The employee who dropped off the mulch did a great job, putting it right on the tarp I laid out, she even made sure none of it got on the yard and double checked the truck bed to make sure it all came out. The mulch was exactly what I needed and arrived right on time.

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 weed patch by next August. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn during Cheyenne's windy stretches, and a few larger accent boulders placed before the rock goes down give the bed some structure without extra cost.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap seams by at least six inches. In Cheyenne's clay loam, skipping fabric means the rock slowly works itself into the soil over a couple seasons and you end up raking mud through gray stone. Fabric is what turns this into the one time install it is supposed to be instead of a job you redo in five years.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake in this climate is spreading rock right up against foundation walls without a gap for downspout discharge to escape. Clay loam does not drain fast, so water pools if the grade is not sloped away from the house first. Fix the grade before the rock goes down, not after, since regrading through a finished rock bed is a much bigger job.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order slightly heavier stone if the bed sits in an open, windy stretch of yard, since Cheyenne's plains wind at 6062 feet will shift lighter decorative gravel over time. Pairing rock with a few larger boulders also cuts down on the total volume you need for visual impact, since the boulders fill space the rock otherwise would.

Decorative Stone in Cheyenne

Cheyenne clay loam holds water in the spring melt and then cracks hard by July, which is rough on organic mulches but not a problem for rock. At 6062 feet the wind off the plains moves lighter material around, so a screened rock groundcover with fabric underneath stays put through a Cheyenne winter better than bark ever will. It also handles the freeze thaw cycle between the May 15 last frost and October first frost without breaking down. Around downspouts especially, rock resists the channeling that clay loam causes when water concentrates in one spot.

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 with Cheyenne's clay soil, or will it just sink in?

It works well as long as you put down landscape fabric first, which is what actually keeps rock from settling into clay loam over time. Without fabric, the rock and clay do mix over a couple seasons and you lose the clean look. With fabric down, this becomes a genuinely one time install for the front yard.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 300 square foot bed?

At 2 inches deep, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 300 square foot bed needs just under 2 cubic yards. Round up to 2 full cubic yards to have enough for edges and depth variation, and go closer to 3.5 yards if you want a fuller 3 inch depth instead.

Answer

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

Rock can go down anytime the ground is not frozen solid, so late fall right at first frost or deep winter is harder for prepping the bed and laying fabric flat. Spring after last frost or a dry stretch in fall works best, mainly because you want the ground workable, not because the rock itself minds the cold.

Answer

Where will the truck put the load, and do I need to be home?

You tell us the drop spot at checkout, usually a driveway or curb area with truck access, and the load gets placed there. You do not need to be present at the exact moment, but the area should be clear and reachable so the driver is not blocked or forced onto grass or soft ground.

Answer

Should I use rock or mulch for a bed near my downspouts?

Rock is the better call around downspouts since it does not wash away or mat down under repeated water flow the way mulch does over a season. It also will not need refreshing every year like organic mulch does. The tradeoff is that rock does not feed the soil, so it is a better fit for utility areas than for beds where you want plants actively growing.
