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!

At a standard 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. Measure your bed's length and width, decide whether you want 2 or 3 inches for drainage or weed suppression, and order by the cubic yard rather than guessing with bags. Most front yard beds and downspout areas in Dyersburg run smaller than people expect, so measure first.

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 five year one, so plan for it before the rock shows up. Edging keeps the stone from migrating into the lawn or driveway, which matters more on sloped Dyersburg lots than flat ones. If you have planting beds mixed in with rock areas, keep a separate mulch zone for anything that wants organic matter, since rock alone will not feed those roots.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap seams by a few inches so silt from Dyersburg's loam soil does not work up through gaps over time. Skipping fabric means weeds root directly in the stone within a season or two, and at that point pulling them means disturbing the whole bed. This one step is what separates a rock bed that looks good for ten years from one that needs redone in three.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake here is piling rock right against tree trunks or shrub bases, which traps heat and moisture against bark during our humid summers. Leave a few inches of bare space around any live plant stems. Also plan on blowing or raking leaves out of rock beds each fall, since unlike mulch, rock does not absorb fallen leaves, it just holds them on the surface until you clear them.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order slightly more than your calculated yardage, rounding up to the next half yard, since running short mid job means a second delivery charge for a small top off. Rock pairs well with a mulched planting bed nearby rather than mixing the two together, since keeping them separate makes edging and future maintenance far simpler and keeps your organic beds actually feeding the soil.

Decorative Stone in Dyersburg

Dyersburg sits on silt loam that drains slower than sandy soil, so beds near downspouts and low spots stay damp longer after storms, and organic mulch there tends to mat down or float. Rock does not break down or hold that moisture against your plants, which makes it a better fit for foundation beds and drainage paths on this soil. With the growing season running roughly April to late October here, homeowners also like that rock does not need a spring refresh like bark mulch does. It just sits there and does its job through zone 7b winters and humid summers alike.

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 work with my soil in Dyersburg without extra prep?

Yes, but the silt loam common here drains slower than sandy soil, so we recommend fabric underneath and a slight grade away from the house so water does not pool under the stone. Without that, the rock itself will not cause problems, but standing water underneath can lead to soil settling over time.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a downspout area or small bed?

One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, so a typical 100 square foot bed near a downspout needs a little under a full yard. Most small residential beds in Dyersburg run between half a yard and 2 yards, so measure your space first and round up slightly.

Answer

When is the best time to install rock before winter sets in?

Anytime before the ground freezes works, but getting it down before our first frost around October 28 means the fabric and edging settle in while the soil is still workable. Installing in frozen or waterlogged ground is harder and less even, so late summer through early fall is the easiest window.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the load at my house?

We drop the material as close to your project area as the truck can safely access, usually a driveway or curb area, and you schedule the exact date at checkout. From there you will need a wheelbarrow or cart to move it to the bed itself, since we place one pile rather than spreading it.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for beds around my Dyersburg home?

Rock makes sense for foundation beds, downspout areas, and anywhere you want a one time install that lasts a decade or more without feeding the soil. Mulch is the better call for planting beds where you want organic matter breaking down for the plants. Many homeowners here use both, keeping them in separate zones rather than mixed together.
