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 on 2 or 3 inches deep depending on how much foot traffic or weed pressure you expect, then order in full cubic yards to avoid a short load. Most Ellensburg front yards run one to three yards depending on how much lawn is getting converted.

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.

I recently ordered from mulch mound and was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of the experience. The entire process, from placing the order to delivery was seamless and efficient. The mulch arrived exactly on time, and the quality exceeded my expectations. The color was rich and consistent, and I received more than enough to complete my project with proper coverage and packing.

Customer service was equally outstanding. Communication was clear, and the team was responsive and professional throughout. It’s rare to find a company that delivers both a high-quality product and excellent service, but mulch mound did just that.

Highly recommended, and I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade-long install instead of a weed bed, so budget for it if you don't already have it down. Steel or aluminum edging keeps rock out of the lawn and off the sidewalk, especially useful near the Rodeo Grounds where foot traffic spikes during events. A drainage-friendly base under downspouts pairs well with the rock on top.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Ellensburg's silt loam swells when wet and shrinks hard in the summer dry spell, which can shift rock that wasn't laid over fabric. Lay landscaping fabric first, pin it down well, then spread rock at 2 to 3 inches. Skipping the fabric step means the rock eventually works its way into the soil and you'll be topping it off within a couple years instead of getting the decade of low maintenance it's meant to give.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see locally is rock going in right up against plants that actually want organic matter, like perennial beds or vegetable borders. Rock traps fallen leaves instead of breaking them down, and it can bake plant roots in Ellensburg's dry, high-elevation summer sun. Save it for foundations, downspouts, and true no-plant groundcover zones, and keep mulch where things are actually growing.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because this is a one time install and not a seasonal refresh, it pays to size the order right the first time rather than patch it later with a mismatched batch. Rock color and size can vary between deliveries, so order your full cubic yardage in one go. Pairing it with mulch in planting beds and rock in the dead zones stretches your budget without looking piecemeal.

Decorative Stone in Ellensburg

Ellensburg's silt loam holds water in spring then bakes hard by August, which makes organic mulch a poor long-term bet against foundations and in exposed front beds. Rock does not decompose or need replacing, so it holds up through the valley's wind gusts and the long dry stretch between last frost in May and first frost in late September. It is a common choice around downspouts and slab foundations where drainage matters more than feeding the soil. Once it is down over fabric, it stays down for years, not seasons.

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 last through Ellensburg winters without shifting?

Yes, rock itself doesn't break down or freeze apart the way mulch can. The real risk is the ground beneath it heaving with freeze-thaw cycles, which is why fabric and a stable base matter more here than the rock choice itself. Installed correctly, it holds its position and appearance for many years without needing a refresh.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 300 square foot bed?

At 2 inches deep, one yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 300 square foot bed needs just under 2 cubic yards. Most people round up to 2 full yards to have a small buffer, since running short mid-project means a second delivery for a partial yard.

Answer

What time of year is best to install landscape rock here?

Anytime between the last frost in May and first frost in late September works well, since the ground isn't frozen or saturated. Late spring and early fall tend to be easiest because the silt loam isn't as muddy as it gets after snowmelt or heavy spring rain.

Answer

Where will the truck put the rock on delivery day?

We place the load at a driveway or curb spot you choose when you schedule delivery. Make sure there's clear truck access and enough width for the vehicle, and have a path ready from the drop point to your beds since rock is heavy to move far by wheelbarrow.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for my front yard beds?

It depends on what's planted there. Rock makes sense for foundations, downspouts, and no-plant groundcover areas since it's permanent and low maintenance, but it traps leaves and doesn't feed the soil. Mulch is better around plants that benefit from organic matter breaking down into Ellensburg's silt loam over time.
