About this landscape rock

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

Online ordering was really simple and I liked the transparent pricing.

At a standard 2 to 3 inch depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. Measure your bed length by width, decide if you want 2 inches for a lighter look or 3 inches for better weed suppression, then order in full cubic yards since this isn't a material you want to run short on mid project.

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

Landscape fabric underneath is worth doing right the first time, since this is a decade-long install and you don't want to pull rock back up in three years. Steel or aluminum edging keeps it out of the lawn, and if you're lining a downspout run, a bit of extra depth right at the discharge point saves you from washouts during spring thaw.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Fargo's clay loam doesn't let water percolate fast, so grade your bed with a slight slope away from the foundation before you lay fabric and rock. If the ground is flat, rock just sits in a shallow bathtub and you'll see standing water every spring thaw. Ten minutes with a rake to establish fall before you install saves years of drainage headaches under a material that isn't coming back up anytime soon.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The mistake we see most is skipping fabric to save money, then fighting weeds through the rock within two summers because clay loam holds enough moisture to germinate anything that blows in. Fabric first, rock on top, and plan on an occasional leaf blow out each fall since rock traps organic debris on the surface instead of breaking it down like mulch does.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you're doing foundation beds and a front walkway both, order the full yardage at once rather than in two trips, since one delivery spread across both areas is more efficient than two smaller loads. Rock pairs well with a paver or mulch transition zone if you've got planting beds nearby that actually need organic matter feeding the soil.

Decorative Stone in Fargo

Fargo's clay loam drains slowly, and that means beds against the house or along downspouts often stay soggy well into spring. Rock solves that by keeping water moving instead of holding it against your foundation like organic mulch can. With winters this long and a frost line that doesn't quit until mid May, a lot of homeowners here are done fighting with mulch that blows out or breaks down under snow load. Rock stays put through wind off the Red River valley and doesn't need a spring refresh.

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 against my house foundation in Fargo's clay soil?

Yes, and it's actually a better choice than mulch there. Clay loam already drains slowly, and rock over fabric keeps moisture from wicking up against your foundation the way organic mulch can when it holds water. Just make sure the bed grades slightly away from the house before you install.

Answer

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

At 2 inches deep, 300 square feet takes just under 2 cubic yards, since one yard covers about 162 square feet at that depth. Round up to 2 full yards to account for settling and edges, or go closer to 2.5 yards if you want a 3 inch depth for better weed control.

Answer

Is spring or fall better for installing rock in Fargo?

Either works, but many people here install after the last frost around mid May once the ground has fully thawed and dried enough to grade properly. Installing into wet clay in early spring makes it harder to get a clean, sloped base, so waiting a couple weeks past thaw usually gives a better result.

Answer

Where will the rock be placed on delivery day?

The truck places the load on your driveway or as close to the work area as access allows. If you're on a corner lot near the Red River side of town with tighter street parking, let us know any access limits when you schedule so the driver can plan the drop accordingly.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for beds near my perennials?

If the bed has plants that want organic matter feeding the soil over time, mulch is the better call since rock doesn't break down or add nutrients. Rock makes more sense for foundation lines, downspout areas, and low-maintenance groundcover beds where you want a one time install that lasts for years.
