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 is sold by the cubic yard, and one yard covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install depth for most bed and groundcover applications. For heavier coverage or better weed suppression, figure closer to 3 inches, which drops your coverage to around 110 square feet per yard. Measure your bed length and width first, then decide on depth before ordering so you are not short a yard on delivery day.

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 rock installs in this area go down over landscape fabric, so if you do not already have fabric on the bed, plan to order that alongside the stone. Edging material helps keep the rock contained and off the lawn, especially on beds that border mowed grass. Some customers also add a load of topsoil first if the bed needs regrading before the fabric goes down.

Areas we deliver landscape rock in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Cuyahoga Falls, silt loam holds moisture longer than sandy soil, so grade your bed with a slight slope away from the foundation before laying fabric. If the base is flat or dished, rock will sit in standing water after spring thaw and the fabric underneath can develop a slick film. A few minutes of shaping the sub grade now saves you from re-leveling the bed in a year or two.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see is skipping fabric entirely to save a step. Without it, silt loam works up through the rock within a couple seasons and you end up with muddy stone that looks dirty year round. Fabric is what makes this a true one time install instead of something you are refreshing like mulch.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock does not feed the soil, so if you are bedding anything besides tough foundation shrubs, leave a mulch ring immediately around the root zone instead of packing rock right up to the trunk or stem. Pairing a topsoil delivery for planting pockets with rock for the open field of the bed gives you the low maintenance look without starving your plants.

Decorative Stone in Cuyahoga Falls

Cuyahoga Falls sits on silt loam that holds water and can stay soggy through spring thaw, which is exactly where rock earns its keep around downspouts and low spots near the foundation. With a growing zone of 6b and freeze thaw cycles running from mid October to early May, organic mulch breaks down fast here, but stone does not heave or compact the way loose soil can. A lot of homes near the Gorge Metro Park area use rock beds to handle the runoff coming off wooded lots. It is a common choice for anyone tired of refreshing beds every spring.

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

Answer

How long does landscape rock actually last once it is installed here?

Properly installed over fabric, landscape rock is essentially a one time install, it does not break down like mulch and will hold its look for a decade or more. The main upkeep is blowing out leaves in fall since rock traps them more than bark mulch does, especially with tree cover common around older Cuyahoga Falls lots.

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 roughly 1.25 yards. If you want a deeper 3 inch layer for better coverage, plan on closer to 1.8 yards for the same area.

Answer

Is there a bad time of year to install rock with our freeze thaw cycles?

Late fall right before the ground freezes is the trickiest window since fabric can be hard to stake into frozen or half frozen soil. Most people here install between the last frost around May 5 and mid fall, giving the ground time to settle before winter freeze thaw cycles begin around mid October.

Answer

Where will the truck place the load and do I need to prep anything?

Delivery is scheduled at checkout and you choose the drop spot, typically a driveway or curb area near the bed. Clear the space beforehand and have a plan for moving material to the bed, since silt loam lawns can get torn up if you wheelbarrow across wet grass repeatedly.

Answer

Should I use rock or mulch for a bed near my downspouts?

Rock is the better call around downspouts since it will not float or wash away the way mulch can during heavy runoff, which matters given how much water silt loam sheds after storms. If the bed also has plants that benefit from organic matter, consider mulch further from the downspout and rock in the direct splash zone.
