About this landscape rock

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

Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!

Landscape rock is sold by the cubic yard, and one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install depth for most bed and groundcover applications. If you want more coverage against weeds and better long-term settling, go closer to 3 inches, which reduces your square footage per yard but holds up longer. Measure your bed's length and width first, then decide on depth based on how much foot traffic or weed pressure the area gets.

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 worth the extra step here, since Durant's clay loam will otherwise let rock migrate into the soil over a few seasons. Edging material keeps the rock from creeping into the lawn, especially useful along driveway lines or downspout paths where water moves it around. Some customers also order a bit of mulch for planting pockets within the rock bed where they want actual plants growing.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Durant's clay loam, skip laying rock straight onto bare soil, it will work itself down into the clay within a year or two and you will be topping off a thin, dirty-looking bed. Landscape fabric is the difference between a rock bed that still looks sharp in five years and one that needs a full redo. It is a small upfront step that saves a much bigger one later.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see locally is people using rock right up against plant beds that want real soil nutrition. Clay loam already holds moisture and nutrients differently than sandy soil, and rock on top blocks that exchange further. Save rock for foundation lines, walkways, and groundcover zones, and keep mulch or bare soil where anything is actually rooted and growing.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because this is a one-time install rather than an annual refresh like mulch, it pays to get the depth right the first time. Going with the full 3 inches instead of 2 costs more rock upfront but means fewer bare patches showing through as it settles, and you will not be back next spring buying more to fill in thin spots.

Decorative Stone in Durant

Durant's clay loam holds water longer than sandy soil, so beds against the foundation or along downspouts benefit from a rock layer that keeps runoff moving instead of pooling against the slab. With our zone 8a summers pushing heat for months, rock also does not break down or wash out the way mulch does after a hard Texoma-area thunderstorm. It is a common choice here for front beds that people want to look finished without a spring reset every year. Just keep in mind it will not add organic matter to that clay loam, so it is better suited to foundation lines and low-maintenance strips than beds full of perennials that want richer soil.

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

Will landscape rock work in Durant's clay soil without extra prep?

It will work, but we recommend landscape fabric underneath first. Clay loam holds moisture and without a barrier, rock gradually sinks into the soil over a couple of seasons, leaving a thin, uneven look. Fabric keeps the rock on top where it belongs and makes the install last far longer with no added maintenance.

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 a little over 1.2 cubic yards. Most people round up to 1.5 yards to account for settling and edges. If you want the deeper 3 inch depth for better long-term coverage, plan closer to 1.8 to 2 yards.

Answer

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

Not really, since rock is not affected by frost dates the way plants are. That said, installing before our first frost around November 6 or after last frost in late March avoids working in wet, sticky clay conditions that make spreading and leveling harder. Late fall and early spring tend to be the easiest windows.

Answer

Can the delivery truck reach a backyard or gated area?

Delivery trucks place material at the accessible drop point closest to your project, usually the driveway or curb, since full loads cannot maneuver through gates or narrow side yards. For backyard or gated projects, plan on moving the rock by wheelbarrow from the drop site. Let us know at checkout if access is tight so we can plan the drop location.

Answer

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

Rock is generally the better choice right against the foundation since it will not need replacing and helps water shed away from the slab, especially important in our clay loam where drainage is already slower. Mulch is better where you actually have plants that benefit from organic matter breaking down into the soil. Many Durant customers use rock along the foundation and mulch in the planting beds further out.
