Easy to order, great service, and great product. We enjoy the final look of a very neglected beds we inherited!

At the standard 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end. Measure your bed length and width, decide on depth based on how much foot traffic or drainage flow the area gets, and order in full cubic yards since rock is heavy and partial yards rarely save you anything on delivery.

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.

Landscape fabric underneath is worth the extra step here, it keeps the rock from working down into the clay loam over the years and cuts way down on weeding. Steel or aluminum edging holds a clean line against grass, and a few well-placed drought-tolerant shrubs give the bed some life without asking rock to do a soil job it was never built for.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Fort Smith's clay loam, skip laying rock straight on bare soil. Landscape fabric is doing real work here since clay wants to swallow rock over a few seasons, especially in beds that stay damp after spring storms. Lay the fabric, pin it well at the seams, then spread rock at a consistent 2 to 3 inches. This is a one time job done right, not something you want to redo after year two.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see locally is using rock in beds full of shrubs or perennials that actually want organic matter. Rock traps falling leaves instead of breaking them down, and it holds summer heat right up against plant roots, which is rough during Fort Smith's hot, humid stretch. Save rock for foundation lines, downspout areas, and true no-plant zones, and keep mulch where things are actually growing.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order the full amount up front rather than topping off later, since matching rock color and size after the fact from a different batch rarely looks seamless. Landscape rock is a decade-plus install if it's done once and done right, so pair it with fabric and edging from day one instead of treating it like an annual mulch refresh you'll redo every spring.

Decorative Stone in Fort Smith

Fort Smith clay loam compacts hard in the dry stretch of late summer and turns heavy and slick after fall rain, which makes rock a smart call for the spots where nothing wants to grow anyway. Around downspouts and foundation edges here, rock sheds water instead of holding it against your slab, which matters with the kind of sideways storms that roll off the river valley. It also holds up through the Nov 15 to Mar 26 frost window without heaving or washing the way loose mulch can. A lot of homeowners near the National Historic Site district use it to keep old foundation beds low maintenance year round.

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 actually last through Fort Smith winters without shifting or washing out?

Yes, screened landscape rock is a permanent install, not a seasonal product. It handles the freeze and thaw between the Nov 15 first frost and Mar 26 last frost without breaking down or needing a refresh, especially over fabric that keeps it from sinking into the clay loam underneath.

Answer

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

At 2 inches deep, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs a bit more than one and a quarter yards. Most people round up to a full 2 yards if they want the deeper 3 inch depth for better weed and drainage control.

Answer

Is spring or fall a better time to install rock in Fort Smith?

Either works since rock isn't temperature sensitive to install, but fall after the heat breaks and before the Nov 15 frost tends to be easier on installers and gives you a clean bed heading into winter. Just make sure the ground isn't saturated from recent rain when you lay fabric underneath.

Answer

Where will the rock be dropped off and do I need to prep anything?

Delivery is placed on your driveway or another accessible spot you specify at checkout. Make sure there's clear access for a full size delivery truck and enough room to unload, and have your bed prepped with edging or fabric in place if you want to start spreading right away.

Answer

Should I use rock or mulch around my foundation and downspouts?

Rock is the better call for foundations and downspout runoff areas since it sheds water instead of absorbing it and won't wash out or rot against your slab. Mulch is better suited to planted beds where you want organic matter breaking down into the clay loam over time.
