About this landscape rock

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

At the standard 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. Measure your bed's length and width, decide if you want 2 or 3 inches deep, and order in whole cubic yard increments since partial loads are hard to size accurately once delivered.

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.

Landscaping fabric underneath keeps the rock from working down into the sandy soil over time and cuts back on weeds pushing through. A steel or aluminum edging strip holds the line where rock meets lawn, which matters here since sandy soil shifts more than clay. Some customers pair a rock border with mulch in planting beds further from the foundation, using rock only where drainage and permanence matter most.

Areas we deliver landscape rock in Coral Springs, Florida

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Coral Springs' sandy limestone soil, skip laying rock directly on grade. Fabric first keeps stone from sinking into loose sand within a season or two, which is a common complaint from folks who install without it. Lay fabric, pin it, then spread rock at 2 to 3 inches. This one step is the difference between a bed that still looks sharp in five years and one that needs topping off constantly.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake here is putting rock right up against plants that want organic matter, like azaleas or hibiscus that are common in South Florida yards. Rock traps heat and blocks nutrients from reaching the root zone, so use it for foundation lines, downspout aprons, and no maintenance strips, and keep mulch in beds where plants are actually feeding.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Since this is a one time install rather than an annual refresh like mulch, it pays to order slightly generous rather than short. Running out mid project means a second delivery and a real chance the new load doesn't match in color or size. Buy the full amount up front based on your measured square footage, and store any small leftover for future patchwork instead of guessing again later.

Decorative Stone in Coral Springs

Coral Springs sits on sandy limestone at just 13 feet of elevation, so drainage around the house is usually good but afternoon downpours during zone 10b's wet season still push water fast across bare beds. Rock does not wash out or float the way mulch can, which matters near downspouts and low front yard beds that see repeat flow. It also does not break down in the heat and humidity here, so it holds its look through the long growing season instead of graying out by August. Homes near the Covered Bridge area with more formal foundation beds tend to use it as a clean, low upkeep border that does not need refreshing every year.

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 my sandy soil without extra prep?

Yes, but fabric underneath is worth the extra step. Coral Springs sandy limestone soil is loose enough that rock placed directly on grade will slowly sink and mix into the ground over a couple seasons. A fabric barrier keeps the stone on top where it belongs and stops it from disappearing into the sand.

Answer

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

At 2 inches deep, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs a little over 1 cubic yard. Most people round up to 1.5 yards to cover the shortfall and account for uneven spreading around edges and curves.

Answer

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

Not really, since rock is inert and doesn't care about frost dates or growing season the way plants do. The one thing to avoid is installing right before a heavy rain event during the wet season, since freshly spread rock can shift before fabric and edging settle in. Otherwise it's a year round install.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the load and do I need a clear driveway?

The load is placed in your driveway or another spot you specify at checkout, and you'll want that area clear of cars and obstacles beforehand. Bulk rock is heavy, roughly 1.35 tons per cubic yard, so the truck needs solid, accessible ground to drop it without driving onto lawn or landscaping.

Answer

Should I use landscape rock or mulch around my foundation?

Rock is the better call around foundations and downspouts where water runs fast and mulch tends to wash or float away. It won't feed the soil or break down, so it's a poor fit right next to plants that want organic matter, but for a permanent, low maintenance strip against the house, rock outlasts mulch by years.
