At the standard 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. Measure your bed length by width, decide whether you want a lighter 2 inch dusting or a fuller 3 inch bed, and that tells you how many cubic yards to order. Most Fort Collins front yard beds run one to three cubic yards depending on how much of the lot is planted versus rocked.

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.

A ton is 2,000 pounds of material. As a general guideline, one ton of rock covers roughly 100 square feet at 2 inches deep, depending on rock size and density.

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 turns this from a temporary look into the decade long groundcover it is meant to be, so budget for it if the bed does not already have it. Steel or aluminum edging keeps rock from migrating into lawn or gravel walkways, which matters more here where freeze thaw heave can shift loose borders. A lot of Fort Collins customers pair rock beds with a mulch bed nearby for actual planting areas, since rock does not feed soil the way organic material does.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap seams by at least 6 inches. In Fort Collins, clay soil pushes moisture up through gaps in dry stretches, and any exposed clay between fabric strips turns into a weed strip within a season. Pin the fabric edges under the rock itself rather than relying on landscape staples alone, since our freeze thaw cycles can work staples loose over a winter or two.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake locally is installing rock right up against a foundation without a gravel or French drain behind it. Fort Collins clay drains slowly, so water can pool at the foundation line under a rock bed that looks fine on the surface. Slope the bed slightly away from the house and consider a perforated drain pipe under the rock if that side of the yard already holds water after storms.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock beds cost more upfront per yard than mulch but need no annual refresh, so the math evens out or wins over three to five years, especially with our long dry season between frosts. If you are covering a large area, mix in a coarser base layer rock under a finer decorative top layer, it uses less of the pricier decorative material while still giving the finished look buyers want.

Decorative Stone in Fort Collins

Fort Collins clay holds water in spring and bakes hard by July, which is exactly the kind of swing that breaks down organic mulch fast but does nothing to rock. Landscape rock sits on top of that clay without decomposing into it, so it holds its line through the freeze thaw cycles between the May 10 and September 30 frost dates. It is a common choice for the low water beds you see around Choice City neighborhoods that lean into the Front Range's dry, high elevation climate. Once it is down over fabric, it stays down for years without 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

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

Will landscape rock work with Fort Collins clay soil or should I amend the bed first?

Rock sits on top of clay rather than mixing into it, so heavy amendment is not necessary for a rock bed the way it is for planting beds. What matters more is grading the area to slope away from structures before you install, since clay does not drain quickly and standing water under rock invites problems.

Answer

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

At 2 inches deep, 162 square feet per cubic yard means you would need just under 2 cubic yards for 300 square feet. Go with 2 full yards if you want to cover corners and edges without running short, or step up to 3 inches deep and plan closer to 3 cubic yards.

Answer

What time of year should I install landscape rock in Fort Collins?

Late spring after the May 10 frost date through early fall before September 30 gives you dry, workable ground for laying fabric and grading. Avoid installing right after snowmelt when clay soil is saturated, since it compacts poorly and makes an uneven base under the rock.

Answer

Where will the rock be dropped and can the truck get up my driveway?

Delivery is placed in your driveway or another firm, accessible spot you specify when scheduling at checkout. Make sure the drop zone is clear and reachable for a full size delivery truck, and let us know about any low branches, narrow gates, or slope that might affect access.

Answer

Is landscape rock or mulch a better choice for my Fort Collins yard?

Rock makes sense for foundation lines, downspout areas, and beds where you want a one time install with no annual refresh, especially given our dry summers. Mulch is the better call for planting beds where you want organic matter feeding the soil, since rock traps leaves and debris without breaking down into anything useful for plants.
