Landscape rock installs at 2 to 3 inches deep, and one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at the 2 inch depth. Measure your bed length and width, multiply for square footage, then divide by 162 to get a rough cubic yard count. Order for the full depth up front since rock is not a material you top off every year like mulch.

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.

One of the easiest customer service experiences I've had in a long time! Mulch Mound made it so simple. After putting it off for a while, I looked at the weather and knew I needed to get to mulching ASAP before the rain came if I didn't want to wait another week. I put my order in for the next day online and they came right at 9 AM. The employee who dropped off the mulch did a great job, putting it right on the tarp I laid out, she even made sure none of it got on the yard and double checked the truck bed to make sure it all came out. The mulch was exactly what I needed and arrived right on time.

We have always spread our own mulch for the past 24 years. This was our first time with the Mulch Mound - things I liked: they have online ordering and provide a digital receipt which means you can remember how much you ordered (I always forget for the next year!), they were on time, they were able to deliver in 48 hours, they were generous with the portion (we got 9 yards and it felt like a FULL nine yards!), the driver was polite! We have ordered from reputable places, and there is always a little trash in the mulch. The mulch we recv'd from Mulch Mound had barely any... we were pleasant surprised!!! Color was great! Not to mention - the price was competitive and LOWER than other mulch places around. We will use again !! Highly recommend! Thanks Mulch Mound!

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade-long install instead of a weed patch by next summer. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating onto the lawn, especially on the sloped lots common around Florence. If you are also working soil beds elsewhere on the property, a load of mulch or topsoil for those areas pairs well with a single delivery day.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap seams by at least 6 inches. In Florence's silt loam, skipping fabric means the rock slowly works itself into the soil over a few seasons and you end up weeding through stone instead of dirt. Fabric also keeps the rock from disappearing into the ground during heavy spring rain events, which this area gets regularly between March and May.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock beds here fill with oak and sweetgum leaves every fall and winter. Plan on blowing or raking them out a few times between October and the November 20 frost date, because left to decompose in place they add organic matter the rock was meant to avoid and can smother groundcover plantings at the bed edges.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Buying the full cubic yardage in one delivery instead of staggering smaller loads saves on trip costs and gets you a consistent stone color and size throughout the bed. Screened rock can vary slightly between batches, so one order for the whole project avoids a visible seam where an older, weathered section meets a fresh one.

Decorative Stone in Florence

Florence sits on silt loam that drains slower than sandy soil, which means beds against the house can stay damp longer after our fall rains. Rock over landscape fabric breaks that cycle by keeping soil surface dry and stopping the splash-back that stains siding. It suits the low-maintenance beds common in the newer subdivisions around town as well as older properties near downtown where owners want a clean, permanent look. It is not the right call for planting beds where you want to add compost or let mulch break down into the silt loam over time.

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 in the clay-heavy spots in my yard here in Florence?

Yes, rock performs well over silt loam and clay-heavy pockets alike since it sits on top of fabric rather than mixing into the soil. The main thing to watch is drainage, if water pools in a low spot before you install, grade it slightly or add a drain first, because rock will not fix standing water on its own.

Answer

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

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 300 square foot bed needs just under 2 cubic yards. If you want a deeper 3 inch layer for better weed suppression, plan closer to 2.8 cubic yards for the same area.

Answer

What time of year is best to install rock in Florence?

Late fall through early spring works well, after leaf drop slows and before the last frost around March 16, since you will do less raking of debris right after install. Ground is also easier to prep for fabric when it is not baked hard from summer heat, which is common here by July and August.

Answer

Can the delivery truck reach my backyard or does it drop at the driveway?

Delivery is placed at a driveway or curbside location you specify, since the trucks are too large for most backyard access. If your project is in the backyard, plan on moving material by wheelbarrow from the drop point, and let us know ahead of time if your driveway has tight clearance or a steep slope.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for beds around my house?

Rock makes sense for foundation beds, downspout areas, and low-maintenance zones since it is a one time install that will not need replacing for years. Mulch is the better choice near plants that benefit from organic matter breaking down into Florence's silt loam, since rock traps leaves and debris without feeding the soil underneath.
