Ordered Dirt. Received Dirt. Would Buy Again.

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, or a bit less if you go to 3 inches for better weed suppression. Measure your bed's length and width, multiply for square footage, then divide by 162 to get a rough yard count at standard depth. Most front bed refreshes in Conroe run between 2 and 5 cubic yards depending on the size of the property.

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.

Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

Landscape fabric underneath is worth laying first, since it keeps the rock from working down into Conroe's clay over time and makes future weeding much easier. Edging, whether steel or paver, helps keep rock contained on slopes near Lake Conroe properties where runoff is a factor. Some customers pair rock borders with mulch in planting beds themselves, using rock only for the pathways and foundation strips.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Conroe's sandy clay, skip a straight rock-on-soil install. Lay landscape fabric first, because without it the rock will slowly sink into the clay layer after a couple of wet seasons and you will be topping it off within a few years instead of getting the decade-plus lifespan rock is known for. Fabric also stops clay from wicking up and staining lighter colored stone.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock beds near mature trees look good going in but fill with leaf litter fast, especially with the oak and pine cover common around Conroe neighborhoods. Plan on blowing or raking beds clean each fall before leaf drop peaks, otherwise the organic matter breaks down between the stones and defeats the weed-blocking purpose of the install.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you're doing a large front yard install, order rock and edging material in the same delivery to save a second trip and get pricing on the full load at once. Pairing rock with a steel edge restraint also cuts down on stone migration into the lawn, which is a common complaint after the first mowing season in Conroe's flatter yards.

Decorative Stone in Conroe

Conroe's sandy clay soil sheds water fast in the sandy pockets but can stay soggy in the clay-heavy spots, and rock groundcover handles both without breaking down or washing out like mulch does. With Lake Conroe humidity pushing plant growth hard through the long zone 9a season, a lot of homeowners here use rock beds along foundations and downspouts specifically to cut down on weed pressure and moisture holding against the house. It also stands up to the heat we get from May through September without fading or matting the way organic mulch can.

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 sink into my clay soil over time?

It can, if installed directly on bare soil. Conroe's sandy clay compacts and shifts with wet and dry cycles, so we recommend landscape fabric underneath to keep the rock riding on top rather than working down into the clay over the following seasons.

Answer

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

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs a little over one and a quarter cubic yards. Most people round up to 1.5 yards to allow for settling and slightly uneven ground.

Answer

Is spring or fall a better time to install rock in Conroe?

Either works, but many locals prefer installing before the spring growth surge, ideally after last frost around March 16, so beds are set before weeds and heat arrive. Fall installs after the first frost around November 25 also work well since the ground is easier to prep and less humid to work in.

Answer

Where will the truck place the rock on delivery day?

The load is dropped in one pile at a driveway or curb location you specify at checkout, not spread across the yard. Make sure there is a clear 10 foot wide access path, and plan your own wheelbarrow route if the bed is farther from that drop point.

Answer

How is landscape rock different from mulch for a Conroe yard?

Rock is a one time install meant to last a decade or more, while mulch breaks down and needs refreshing yearly. Rock won't feed your soil or plants the way mulch does, so it works best around foundations and downspouts rather than in beds where you want plants to thrive from added organic matter.
