About this landscape rock

Smooth tumbled river rock, heavy enough to stay put in drainage runs and handsome enough for beds and borders.

Online ordering was really simple and I liked the transparent pricing.

At a standard 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. Measure your bed length by width, decide whether you want the 2 inch minimum or a fuller 3 inch look, and order in full cubic yard increments since partial loads are hard to schedule efficiently.

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.

Most Coeur d'Alene rock jobs start with a woven landscape fabric underneath to stop weed push through and keep the silt loam from working its way up into the stone over time. Steel or aluminum edging keeps rock from migrating onto walkways and into lawns during winter freeze heave. If you are lining a foundation bed, pair rock with a downspout extension so runoff has somewhere to go besides pooling under the stone.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay fabric before rock, always, but in Coeur d'Alene skip the cheap spun bond and use a woven fabric rated for at least 8 years. Our silt loam holds water long enough in spring that lightweight fabric breaks down and lets soil migrate up through the rock within two or three seasons, defeating the whole point of a permanent install.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see locally is installing rock right up against cedar or arborvitae foundation plantings that want organic mulch and consistent moisture. Rock reflects heat and sheds water away from the root zone, which stresses those plants during our dry Coeur d'Alene summers. Leave a mulch ring around anything living and save rock for open beds or hardscape borders.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order rock and any edging or fabric in the same delivery when possible, staging materials together saves a second trip to your site and lets you install in one weekend before fall rains start around early October. If you are covering a large slope near the lake, ask about angular rock instead of rounded river rock, it locks together better and resists sliding on grade.

Decorative Stone in Coeur d'Alene

Coeur d'Alene sits in silt loam that drains slowly when it is saturated by spring runoff, and rock over fabric keeps that wet soil off your foundation and out of your crawlspace vents. With first frost arriving around October 8 and the ground staying cold into May, organic mulches here compact and sour before they finish a full season, rock does not. It is the material we see going in around downspouts and along the foundations of homes near the lake where moisture management matters more than curb appeal alone. Zone 6b winters do not affect rock, so what you install this fall still looks right come spring thaw.

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 hold up through Coeur d'Alene winters without shifting?

Yes, once installed over fabric with edging in place, rock stays put through freeze and thaw cycles better than bark or wood mulch. It does not compact or float during spring runoff, and it will not need replacing after our first frost hits in October like organic mulches often do.

Answer

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

At a 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 a full 1.5 yards to account for settling and uneven ground, since partial yard orders are inefficient to schedule.

Answer

What is the best time of year to install rock in Coeur d'Alene?

Late spring after the last frost around May 5 through early fall before October is ideal, since the ground is workable and dry enough to lay fabric properly. Avoid installing right after snowmelt when the silt loam is still saturated, wet soil under fabric leads to poor compaction and settling later.

Answer

Where will the truck place my rock delivery?

We place the load as close to your work area as the driveway or curb allows, but trucks cannot drive across lawns or soft ground. If your site is on a slope near the lake or has limited access, let us know when scheduling so we can plan the drop location in advance.

Answer

Should I choose rock or bark mulch for my front bed?

Rock is the better choice for foundation beds, downspout areas, and anywhere you want a one time install that lasts years without refreshing. Bark mulch is better around plants that benefit from organic matter breaking into the soil, since rock traps leaves and debris but never feeds the silt loam beneath it.
