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 the standard 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 length and width, decide if you want a lighter 2 inch layer or a fuller 3 inch layer, then order in full cubic yard increments since this is a one time install you want done right the first time.

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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscaping fabric underneath is what turns this into the decade-long groundcover it is meant to be, especially in Easton's clay loam where weeds push through bare soil easily. Steel or aluminum edging keeps rock from migrating into the lawn during mowing. If part of your bed still has shrubs or perennials that want organic matter, consider keeping that section in mulch and using rock only where it belongs, against the house or along hardscape.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock, not after, and overlap seams by at least six inches. In Easton's clay loam, skipping fabric means the rock will slowly sink into the soil over a few seasons as freeze thaw cycles work it downward, and you will end up topping it off sooner than the one time install you're paying for.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see is using rock right up against plants that need organic matter. Rock traps fallen leaves and heat against stems, and it does not break down to feed the soil the way mulch does. Keep rock for foundation lines, downspout aprons, and walkways, and leave real planting beds in mulch or compost instead.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because this is meant to be a permanent install rather than an annual refresh, it pairs well with a one time investment in steel edging to keep the stone contained. Pairing a rock border with mulched planting beds inside it is common in Easton yards, giving you low upkeep along the house while keeping soil-fed areas for anything that actually grows.

Decorative Stone in Easton

Easton sits on clay loam, which drains slowly and stays soggy longer than sandy soil after spring rain. That makes rock a smart choice around foundations and downspouts where organic mulch would mat down and hold moisture against the house. In zone 7a, freeze thaw cycles between the Apr 20 last frost and Oct 18 first frost can heave loose stone if it is laid without fabric and a compacted base. Homeowners near the Forks tend to use it for low-maintenance strips along driveways and walkways rather than full planting beds, since it does nothing for soil health.

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 Easton's clay soil?

Yes, and it actually helps in areas where clay loam holds water, since rock over fabric keeps mud from forming against your foundation or under downspouts. Just make sure the base is graded to drain, since rock sitting in standing water will still get slimy and grow algae over time.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 200 square foot bed?

At a 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs roughly 1.25 cubic yards. Round up to 1.5 yards to account for uneven ground and the depth settling slightly once it is walked on.

Answer

What time of year should I install landscape rock in Easton?

Anytime the ground isn't frozen works, but late spring after the Apr 20 last frost or early fall before Oct 18 gives you comfortable working temperatures. Since this is a one time install rather than a seasonal refresh, timing matters less than making sure you lay fabric and a compacted base first.

Answer

Where will the truck place my rock delivery?

The truck drops the load wherever you specify at checkout, usually a driveway or a curbside spot with clear access. Make sure there is enough clearance for a full size delivery truck and that the area can handle the weight, since a cubic yard of rock runs around 1.35 tons.

Answer

Should I choose landscape rock or mulch for my front bed?

It depends on what's planted there. Rock is the better call for foundation lines, downspout areas, and walkways where you want a permanent, low-maintenance surface. Mulch is better around shrubs and perennials that benefit from organic matter breaking down into Easton's clay loam over time.
