One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install depth for most front yard beds. For heavier coverage or areas that see more foot traffic, go to 3 inches and expect closer to 108 square feet per yard. Measure your bed square footage first, then divide by the coverage number for your chosen depth to land on how many yards to order.

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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric underneath is worth doing right the first time, since rock over fabric can last a decade or more without much upkeep. Some customers pair rock borders with mulched planting beds nearby, using rock where they want a clean, low maintenance edge and mulch where plants need organic matter. Edging material also helps keep the rock from migrating into the lawn over time.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In sandy soil like Coconut Creek's, skip skipping the fabric barrier, it is the difference between a rock bed that holds its edge for ten years and one where stones sink into the sand within a season. Lay the fabric flush against the soil, overlap seams by a few inches, and pin it down before you spread a single scoop. This also keeps sand from working its way up through the rock over time.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake with rock beds here is planting things that want organic matter right into the rock. Landscape rock does not feed soil the way mulch does, so anything that needs regular feeding or moisture retention will struggle. Reserve rock for foundation lines, low water beds, and pathways, and keep your flowering plants in mulched or amended soil beds instead.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock beds trap leaves and yard debris more than mulch does, especially near mature tree canopy, so plan on an occasional blow out or rake through rather than a full redo. Since this is a one time install rather than an annual refresh, it is worth getting the depth and fabric prep right up front, that upfront effort is what saves you from redoing the whole bed a few years down the line.

Decorative Stone in Coconut Creek

Coconut Creek sits on sandy, fast draining soil at just 17 feet of elevation, which means mulch and organic groundcovers wash out or break down quickly in our wet season. Rock does not care about that, it sits on top of the sand and stays where you put it through downpours and dry spells alike. A lot of homeowners here use it around downspouts and low beds near Butterfly World's neighborhoods where standing water is a real concern. It is also a practical choice if you are tired of redoing beds every year in zone 10b's long growing season.

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

Does landscape rock work in Coconut Creek's sandy soil?

Yes, rock actually performs better than mulch in sandy soil because it does not break down or wash away the way organic material does. It sits on top of a fabric barrier and stays put through our heavy summer rains. Sandy soil drains fast, so you will not deal with rock sinking into standing water the way it might in heavier clay soils.

Answer

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

At the standard 2 inch depth, one yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 300 square foot bed needs just under 2 cubic yards. If you want the heavier 3 inch depth, plan closer to 2.8 yards. Rounding up slightly is smart since spreading is never perfectly even.

Answer

When is the best time to install rock in Coconut Creek?

Anytime works since rock does not depend on planting season, but many people schedule it before our December and January frost window just to get yard projects done before the holidays. It is a one time install, so there is no seasonal rush like there is with mulch refreshes.

Answer

Where will the rock be dropped on delivery day?

We place the load wherever you specify, usually a driveway or open area close to your project site. Make sure the drop zone is clear and reachable, since the material comes in bulk by the cubic yard rather than individual bags.

Answer

Should I use rock or mulch around my foundation?

Rock is generally the better choice against foundations since it does not hold moisture against the structure the way mulch can, and it will not need replacing for years. Mulch makes more sense in planting beds where you want organic matter breaking down into the soil. Many Coconut Creek yards use both, rock along the house and mulch further out.
