One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install thickness for most bed and groundcover applications. If you want more coverage against weeds or a deeper look near a foundation, figure closer to 3 inches and adjust your yardage down accordingly. Measure your bed's length and width first, then decide on depth before ordering so you are not short a yard on delivery day.

Mulch Mound delivered a yard of pea gravel to us. Delivery was on time, driver was friendly and hit a bullseye on the “tarp target”. We used the pea gravel (which was diameter as specified) to fill several muskrat holes around our pond. I would definitely recommend Mulch Mound to a friend!

UPDATE!
I can’t say enough good things about Mulch Mound! If you read my review below you will see I had a problem with my order. Mulch Mound was quick to respond and solved the issue with my delivery. Will definitely be a customer next year.
First time purchase from Mulch Mound!! First what I liked! Easy to order online and straight forward pricing and delivery. The driver was on time and courteous and delivered my Mulch exactly where I requested! The product is of good quality and comparable to others I have purchased from before. Now what I DID’NT LIKE! I have been mulching the same house and yard for almost 20 years. I always order the same amount and don’t have any issues with covering the same area but this year I fell about a yard short. I was home when the mulch was delivered and when the driver dumped it I noticed that it seemed a bit less than I was used to. I didn’t apply it any thicker than usual and probably a bit thinner than usual because I was worried about running out.
Most rock beds in Elizabeth City go down over landscape fabric, so pick that up along with edging to keep the stone from migrating into the lawn or a nearby flower bed. Steel or plastic edging holds a clean line better than pavers in this sandy soil, which tends to shift. If you are working near a downspout, a few extra inches of rock apron beyond the drip line helps manage runoff before it reaches the bed.
Because Elizabeth City sits on sandy loam near sea level, skip skipping the fabric barrier, it is what keeps rock from sinking into soft ground over time. Compact the base soil first, then lay a commercial grade fabric before spreading rock, not the thin stuff from a hardware store. In this soil type a cheap fabric tears and lets rock sink within two or three years, turning a permanent install into a redo.
The biggest mistake we see locally is installing rock right up against siding or a foundation without a gap. Humidity and rain here mean moisture sits at the base of walls longer than in drier climates, so leave 2 to 3 inches of clearance and slope the bed slightly away from the house. Rock traps leaves too, so plan on blowing or raking beds out each fall before oak leaves mat down and hold moisture against the stone.
Rock is a one time investment, not a seasonal refresh like mulch, so it is worth pairing a slightly larger initial order with proper edging rather than doing a thin pass now and adding more later. Mismatched batches of rock can vary in color and size, so ordering enough in one delivery avoids a patchwork look. If budget is tight, use rock in the highest visibility zones, like the front bed, and mulch in less visible side yards.
Elizabeth City sits on sandy loam at low elevation, which means water moves through the topsoil fast but can pool in low spots near downspouts and foundations, exactly where people want a permanent rock bed instead of mulch that floats. In zone 8b our mild winters mean rock never freezes and heaves the way it can further north, so a properly based install holds its grade year after year. Homeowners near the waterfront and around older homes close to the Museum of the Albemarle district often choose rock over bark for the low maintenance factor, since humidity here keeps organic mulch breaking down fast anyway. Rock does not feed the sandy loam, so it works best where you are not trying to build soil.
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 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.
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.
