About this landscape rock

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

Landscape rock installs at 2 to 3 inches deep, and one cubic yard covers roughly 162 square feet at the 2 inch depth. For a typical Danville foundation bed or downspout apron, that means most residential jobs run somewhere between 1 and 3 yards depending on how far the bed wraps the house. Measure length times width first, then decide if you want the leaner 2 inch depth or the sturdier 3 inch depth before ordering.

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 yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 10 feet by 10 feet at a few inches deep.

We have always spread our own mulch for the past 24 years. This was our first time with the Mulch Mound - things I liked: they have online ordering and provide a digital receipt which means you can remember how much you ordered (I always forget for the next year!), they were on time, they were able to deliver in 48 hours, they were generous with the portion (we got 9 yards and it felt like a FULL nine yards!), the driver was polite! We have ordered from reputable places, and there is always a little trash in the mulch. The mulch we recv'd from Mulch Mound had barely any... we were pleasant surprised!!! Color was great! Not to mention - the price was competitive and LOWER than other mulch places around. We will use again !! Highly recommend! Thanks Mulch Mound!

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a one time install instead of a yearly chore, so budget for it even if it is not the exciting part of the order. A steel or aluminum edging strip keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn, especially useful on the sloped yards common around Danville. If you have planting beds nearby that still need organic matter, keep mulch and rock in separate zones rather than blending them.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, always. Danville's silt loam is fine grained enough that without a barrier, rock will slowly sink and mix with the soil beneath it over a few seasons, and once that happens no amount of raking fixes it. The fabric also stops silt from wicking up between the stones after heavy rain, which is common given how slow this soil drains.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see is skipping edging. Without a steel or plastic edge, rock creeps into the lawn within a year or two, especially on the gentle slopes typical around Danville's older streets, and then you are picking stones out of grass with a mower blade. Install edging first, then fabric, then rock, in that order.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock pairs well with mulch zones rather than replacing them entirely. Keep rock in foundation strips, downspout aprons, and low-traffic borders, and save mulch for beds with shrubs or perennials that actually benefit from organic breakdown. Buying both in the same delivery is often more efficient than two separate trips if your project has both zones.

Decorative Stone in Danville

Danville's silt loam drains slower than sandy soil, which means low spots near downspouts and foundations stay damp longer after spring rain. Rock over fabric solves that by keeping mulch from washing out and by giving water somewhere to sit without turning to mud. Around Constitution Square and the older neighborhoods nearby, a lot of homes have narrow foundation beds where rock reads cleaner than mulch year round. Just know it will not feed your soil the way an organic material would, so keep it away from beds where you want plants pulling nutrients from the ground.

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 actually stop the mud by my downspouts?

Yes, if you install fabric underneath first. Danville's silt loam drains slowly, so water tends to sit and turn to mud in bare spots. A rock bed with fabric gives that water somewhere to pass through without churning up soil, and it stays that way for years instead of needing yearly attention like mulch does.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a foundation bed around my house?

One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth. Most Danville homes with a narrow foundation bed wrapping two or three sides of the house need somewhere between 1 and 2.5 yards. Measure your total bed length and width first, then use that coverage number to land on your exact order.

Answer

When is the best time to install rock before Danville's frost hits?

Anytime before the ground freezes works, but late summer through early October is ideal since the soil is workable and you avoid installing right before the first frost around October 27. Installing in spring after the April 25 last frost also works well, once the soil has dried out enough to compact properly under the fabric.

Answer

Can the truck get close enough to my yard for delivery?

In most cases yes, the truck places material at your driveway or curb, and you direct exactly where. If your access is tight, narrow alley, steep grade, or a shared drive, let us know your address details at checkout so the load lands somewhere you can move it from easily.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for my beds here in Danville?

It depends on the bed. Rock makes sense for foundation strips, downspout aprons, and low-maintenance areas where you want a one time install that lasts. Mulch is better for beds with shrubs and perennials that benefit from organic matter breaking down into Danville's silt loam over time. Many yards end up using both in different zones.
