One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install depth for groundcover and foundation beds. For a typical 300 to 400 square foot front bed, plan on 2 to 2.5 cubic yards at 2 inches, or closer to 3 yards if you want the fuller 3 inch depth. Measure your bed's length and width first, then decide on depth based on how much you want the fabric underneath to disappear.

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.

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 goes down before the rock, always, especially in Chillicothe's silt loam where weeds seed in fast if soil is left exposed. Edging material keeps rock from migrating into the lawn or driveway over time. Some customers also order a bit of mulch for planting pockets within the rock bed where they want actual soil contact for perennials.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock, not after, and overlap seams by at least 6 inches since Chillicothe's silt loam pushes up fine sediment through gaps over a few winters of freeze thaw. Pin the fabric every 18 inches rather than every few feet. Skipping this step is the number one reason rock beds sprout weeds within two years, since seeds blow in and root right at the surface of any exposed soil.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock is a one time install, but leaves are the ongoing maintenance issue here, not weeds if the fabric is done right. Chillicothe's tree cover means fall leaf litter settles into rock beds and breaks down into a thin soil layer over a few years, which eventually lets weeds root on top of the fabric. Blow or rake beds clean each November before the first frost around Oct 12 to keep that from building up.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order slightly less than your calculated total on the first pass, since rock is easier to top off than to remove excess. A half yard extra sitting in the driveway is a hassle, but running one yard short on a 400 square foot bed just means a second small delivery. Pairing rock with a narrower mulch border where beds meet lawn also cuts down on stone scatter into the grass.

Decorative Stone in Chillicothe

Chillicothe's silt loam soil drains slowly, especially through the wetter months leading into the Apr 15 last frost, which means low spots near foundations and downspouts stay soggy longer than sandy ground would. Rock over landscape fabric solves that by shedding water instead of holding it, and it does not compact or wash out the way mulch does after a hard rain off the Scioto Valley. It is a common choice for front yards near the older brick homes downtown, where owners want a clean look that does not need refreshing every season. Around Hopewell Culture National Historical Park, a lot of properties lean into low-maintenance native plantings, and rock beds pair well with that approach.

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 Chillicothe's clay-heavy soil, or will it just sink in?

It will not sink if you install it correctly. The issue with silt loam is drainage, not weight, so laying landscape fabric first keeps the rock riding on top instead of working its way into the soil over time. Skip the fabric and yes, expect the rock to slowly disappear into the clay after a few wet seasons.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 200 square foot bed along my foundation?

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs roughly 1.25 cubic yards. Round up to 1.5 yards to account for uneven ground and edging loss, better to have a small surplus than run short mid-project.

Answer

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

Late fall right before the Oct 12 first frost is workable but not ideal, since ground can be wet and fabric anchoring is harder in cold, damp soil. Spring after the Apr 15 last frost, once soil has dried out some, is easier to work with and gives fabric a chance to settle before summer growth pushes weeds.

Answer

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

You choose the drop location at checkout, most customers pick the driveway or curb closest to the project area. Our trucks need a clear path with no low branches or narrow gates, so measure your access point beforehand, especially on older Chillicothe properties with tighter driveways near downtown.

Answer

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

Rock is the better call there. It does not wash away or float like mulch does when downspouts dump heavy volume during Ohio's spring rains, and it will not need replacing after a season of runoff. Mulch feeds the soil better if you have plants that want organic matter, but for pure drainage zones, rock holds up longer with a one time install.
