One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, or somewhat less if you go to 3 inches for better coverage and fewer bare spots. Measure your bed's length by width, decide on depth based on how exposed the area is, and order in full cubic yards since this is a one time install you want done right the first go.

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.

I couldn't be happier with the speed and quality of the mulch delivery service of Mulch Mound. Every detail from ordering, to communication with on time delivery, to perfect product placement was amazing. I needed more and I got it within 2 hours! I'm never doing this with bags again.
Landscape fabric underneath is what makes rock a decade-long install instead of a weed farm by next summer. Steel or aluminum edging keeps it from migrating onto the lawn, especially useful on the smaller village lots around Floral Park where beds sit close to walkways. If any part of the bed borders plantings that want organic matter, consider mulch there instead and reserve rock for the foundation line and downspout areas.
Service area
Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap seams by a few inches so soil doesn't work through over the winter freeze thaw cycles Floral Park sees between November and April. Skipping fabric means weeds root directly in the sandy loam beneath the stone within a season, and pulling weeds out of settled rock is far more work than laying fabric right the first time.
The most common mistake is installing rock right up against plants that need organic matter and moisture. Rock traps leaf litter and heat against stems, which stresses anything that isn't fully drought tolerant. Reserve rock for foundation lines, downspout aprons, and true groundcover zones, and keep it a few inches back from perennials or shrubs that want mulch and topsoil contact instead.
Because this is a one time install rather than an annual refresh like mulch, it pays to get the depth right upfront, 2 inches for decorative areas and closer to 3 inches where foot traffic or drainage is a concern. Ordering the full cubic yardage in one delivery also avoids color mismatches between batches, which matters more with stone than with mulch since rock doesn't fade or blend the way bark does.
Floral Park's sandy loam drains well on its own, so rock groundcover here is more about appearance and weed suppression than fighting standing water. Zone 7b winters bring freeze thaw cycles between the Nov 17 first frost and Apr 15 last frost, and rock over fabric shrugs that off for years without shifting. Many yards in the village neighborhoods near Belmont Park are tight and formal, where a clean rock border reads sharper than mulch that fades by June. It also holds up well right against foundations, where organic mulch tends to hold moisture against the house.
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.
