One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, or a bit less if you go to 3 inches for heavier drainage areas. Measure your bed's length and width, decide your depth, and order in full cubic yards since this is a one time install you want to get right the first time. Most front-yard beds in Fond du Lac run somewhere between 2 and 5 cubic yards.

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.

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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscaping fabric underneath is what makes this a decade-long install instead of a weed patch by July. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn, especially useful along Fond du Lac's flatter yards where there's no natural slope to hold a line. If you've got planting beds mixed with rock zones, a run of mulch elsewhere on the property pairs well since rock and organic beds serve different plants.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap seams by at least 6 inches. In Fond du Lac's silt loam, skipping fabric means the rock slowly works itself into the soil over a few freeze-thaw cycles, and by year three you're pulling stone out of mud instead of standing on a clean bed. Fabric is the difference between a permanent install and a five-year one.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock traps falling leaves instead of breaking them down like mulch does, and Fond du Lac's mature shade trees drop a heavy load each October. Plan on blowing or raking leaves off rock beds before the snow flies, otherwise you get a matted layer that holds moisture against the stone and invites weed seeds to root right in the debris.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock is a poor match for beds where you want shrubs or perennials to actually thrive, since it never breaks down to feed the soil the way mulch does. Save rock for foundation lines, drainage paths, and downspout aprons, and keep organic mulch in beds with plants that need real nutrients. Mixing the two zones on one property is standard practice, not a compromise.

Decorative Stone in Fond du Lac

Fond du Lac's silt loam holds water well, which means the ground stays soft and workable through spring but also means bare soil erodes fast on any slope down toward Lake Winnebago. Rock beds solve that erosion problem without the annual refresh mulch demands. With a first frost around Oct 19 and thaw-freeze cycles common in zone 5b, organic mulch breaks down and shifts each winter, but screened stone stays put for years. It's a common choice here for foundation beds and downspout aprons where standing water and freeze-thaw do the most damage.

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

Does landscape rock work well in Fond du Lac's clay-heavy soil areas?

Yes, rock actually helps in poorly draining spots since it doesn't hold standing water against plant roots the way mulch can. Just make sure the bed has some slope or a French drain nearby, since rock won't absorb excess moisture, it just sits on top of whatever drainage problem already exists.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 200 square foot bed?

At a standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs roughly 1.25 cubic yards. Most people round up to 1.5 to account for uneven ground and edging loss, and it's better to have a little extra than to run short mid-project.

Answer

Is fall a good time to install landscape rock before winter hits?

Fall works fine since rock doesn't care about frost the way plants do, but get it down before the ground freezes solid, typically before Oct 19 in this area, so you can still grade and level the base properly. Installing on frozen or snow-covered ground makes it much harder to get a flat, even bed.

Answer

Where will the truck place the rock delivery on my property?

The driver places the load at your driveway or another accessible spot you specify at checkout, we don't wheelbarrow it to the final bed location. Make sure there's a clear path from the drop point to your project area, and note any low branches or narrow gates that could block a full size delivery truck.

Answer

Should I choose landscape rock or mulch for beds near my house foundation?

Rock is generally the better choice right against a foundation since it doesn't hold moisture against siding the way mulch can, and it won't need replacing every year or two. Mulch is better suited for beds with plants that benefit from the organic matter breaking down into the soil over time.
