One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install depth for most bed and groundcover applications. For a typical 300 square foot front bed you are looking at roughly 2 cubic yards at 2 inches, more if you want the fuller 3 inch look. Measure your bed length and width first, then decide on depth before you order.

The triple shredded mulch was great quality and just what we were looking for.
Most rock beds go down over landscape fabric, so pick that up in the same order if you do not already have it on hand. Edging, whether steel or paver, keeps the stone from migrating into the lawn, especially in loose Citrus Springs sand. If you have planting beds mixed in with the rock zones, keep a bag of mulch or compost separate since rock will not feed those plants the way organic material does.
Service area
Lay landscape fabric before the rock, not after, and overlap seams by at least 6 inches since Citrus Springs sand shifts underneath thin fabric over time and gaps let weeds punch through. Pin the fabric down every few feet, sandy soil does not hold standard stakes as well as clay, so use longer pins than you'd use elsewhere in Florida.
The most common mistake here is piling rock against stucco or siding without a gap. Rock holds heat and moisture against foundations during our humid summer months, so leave a couple inches of clearance and slope the bed slightly away from the house to keep runoff moving during storm season.
Because this is a one time install rather than a yearly refresh like mulch, it pays to order slightly more than the calculator says and get the depth right the first time. A thin 1 inch layer looks fine for a month then reveals fabric everywhere, going the full 2 to 3 inches costs more up front but you are not touching it again for a decade.
Citrus Springs sits on sandy soil that drains almost as fast as you can water it, which means mulch beds here break down and blow around more than in heavier clay regions. Landscape rock does not care about that drainage rate, it sits on top of fabric and stays put through the region's heavy summer thunderstorms. With a Nov 20 first frost and a Feb 15 last frost, this is a short, mild winter, so there is no freeze heave to worry about shifting stone over time. A lot of front yards out here use rock beds around foundations and downspouts specifically because sandy soil erodes under a hard water stream.
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 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.
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.
