About this landscape rock

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

Easy to order, great service, and great product. We enjoy the final look of a very neglected beds we inherited!

Landscape rock installs at 2 to 3 inches deep, and one cubic yard covers roughly 162 square feet at that 2 inch depth. Measure your bed length by width, decide on depth based on how much foot traffic or drainage load the area sees, then order in full cubic yards rather than guessing low and running short mid job. Most front yard beds in Corcoran run 3 to 6 cubic yards depending on size.

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.

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade long install instead of a rock pile full of weeds by next summer. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the stone from migrating into lawn or gravel driveways, which matters on the flatter lots common around Corcoran. If any part of the bed still has plants that want organic matter, keep a mulch zone separate rather than rocking over root areas.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock, not after, and overlap seams by at least 6 inches. In Corcoran's clay loam, skipping fabric means fine soil particles work their way up between the stones during our wet winter months, and within a couple of years you have got weeds rooting right through the rock bed instead of on top of it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see is spreading rock too thin to save material. At under 2 inches, the fabric shows through and weeds find gaps fast. Go the full 2 to 3 inches called for, and resist the urge to stretch one yard over more square footage than it is rated for, since a thin layer defeats the entire point of a permanent groundcover.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock is a one time cost that never needs refreshing like bark mulch does, so it is worth ordering slightly more than the bare minimum rather than running short and paying for a second small delivery later. Pair it with edging on the first install, since adding edging after the rock is down means pulling stone back out to set it properly.

Decorative Stone in Corcoran

Corcoran sits on clay loam left behind by the old Tulare Lake bed, soil that holds water and turns heavy when it is wet. That is exactly the kind of ground where organic mulches compact and sour, but rock stays put and drains through instead of holding moisture against a foundation. With mild winters and a last frost in late February, there is no freeze thaw cycle here to heave stone out of place once it is set. It is a practical match for the flat, farm town lots and downspout runoff you see all over the city.

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 Corcoran's clay soil?

Yes, and it actually performs better here than organic mulch does. Clay loam holds water, and rock over fabric drains through instead of trapping moisture against foundations or walkways. Just make sure the bed has basic grading so water moves away from the house rather than pooling under the stone.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 400 square foot front yard bed?

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 400 square foot bed needs roughly 2.5 cubic yards. Round up to 3 yards if you want closer to 3 inches of depth or expect some settling over the first year.

Answer

When is the best time to install landscape rock in Corcoran?

Late fall through winter works well here, after harvest season slows down and before the last frost in late February. Ground is easier to grade when it is not baked hard by summer heat, and you will have the bed finished before spring growth picks up around it.

Answer

Can the delivery truck get to my property if I am on a rural or farm access road?

In most cases yes, our trucks are built for exactly that kind of access, but let us know at checkout if your driveway is narrow, gated, or unpaved so we can place the load somewhere the truck can safely reach. We place the pile where you specify, so a clear path in matters more than pavement.

Answer

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

If you want a one time install that lasts for years without refreshing, rock is the better call, especially in Corcoran's clay loam where it drains well. If you have plants that benefit from organic matter breaking down into the soil, mulch is the better fit for those specific beds, and many yards here use both, rock near the house and mulch around planting areas.
