Ordered Dirt. Received Dirt. Would Buy Again.

At a 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's square footage first, then decide between 2 inches for a lighter groundcover look or 3 inches for better weed suppression, since the deeper spread will use noticeably more material per yard.

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.

A ton is approximately 2,000 pounds. Coverage varies by stone type and depth, but as a general guideline, one ton covers roughly 80-100 square feet at 2 inches deep.

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 what makes rock a decade-long install instead of a weed patch by year two, so plan on that as a companion order. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock out of the grass and off the driveway, especially useful on the sloped Blackland clay lots common around Dallas. Some customers also order a topsoil or compost delivery for the planting pockets they leave inside the rock bed for shrubs.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Blackland clay, skip laying rock straight onto bare soil. The clay swells when it rains and shrinks in dry heat, and that movement works rock down into the ground over a few seasons, mixing it into the clay and making it look thin. Landscape fabric acts as a barrier layer that keeps the rock riding on top instead of sinking, which matters more here than in sandier soils.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake with rock beds in Dallas is not accounting for oak and pecan leaf litter in fall. Rock traps leaves instead of letting them compost into soil the way mulch does, so beds under mature trees need blowing out or raking a few times each fall and winter or they'll look neglected fast, especially before that November 15 first frost when leaf drop peaks.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order rock and edging in the same delivery when possible. Steel edging keeps rock contained on sloped Dallas lots where clay soil erosion pushes loose stone toward the curb after heavy rain, and installing both at once means you're not disturbing a finished bed later to add edging you skipped the first time.

Decorative Stone in Dallas

Blackland Prairie clay expands and contracts hard through Dallas summers, and organic mulches break down fast in the heat between that March 15 last frost and November first frost stretch, meaning more upkeep than most homeowners want. Rock does not decompose or wash into the clay the way bark does, so it holds its grade year after year. It's a common choice for front yard beds along Big D's older neighborhoods where foundations sit close to grade and drainage off downspouts needs somewhere to go without eroding a bed. Around Reunion Tower and downtown-adjacent lots, rock beds also read cleaner in the low water landscaping a lot of Dallas properties are shifting toward.

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

How long does landscape rock actually last in Dallas heat and clay soil?

Landscape rock does not break down like mulch does, so it holds up indefinitely against Dallas summer heat. What changes over time is settling into the clay if there's no fabric barrier underneath, and dust or leaf debris building up on the surface. With fabric installed correctly, most beds go a decade or more before needing a top up.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a typical Dallas front yard bed?

A 200 square foot bed at 2 inches deep needs a bit over 1 cubic yard, since one yard covers about 162 square feet at that depth. Measure your bed's length by width first, then decide if you want the fuller 3 inch depth, which will require more material per 100 square feet than the 2 inch minimum.

Answer

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

Not really, since rock installation isn't weather sensitive the way planting is. That said, installing before the fall leaf drop from oaks and pecans, ahead of the November 15 first frost, means less immediate cleanup than laying fresh rock right into peak leaf season.

Answer

Can the delivery truck get rock close to my backyard bed?

Trucks place material at the closest accessible spot on your property, usually the driveway, since full loads of rock are heavy and trucks can't cross lawns or tight side yards. If your bed is in the backyard, plan on moving material by wheelbarrow from the drop point, and clear any gates or narrow paths beforehand.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for a bed near my house foundation?

Rock is generally the better call against foundations since it doesn't hold moisture against the house the way mulch can, and it won't need replacing every year or two. Mulch is better where you want organic matter feeding the soil, like around shrubs and perennials that benefit from decomposition, so a lot of Dallas beds mix both.
