Landscape rock covers about 162 square feet per cubic yard at a 2 inch depth, or a bit less if you go to 3 inches for better coverage on windy lots. Measure your bed square footage first, then divide by 162 to get a working cubic yard number before rounding up. Most front yard conversions in this area run somewhere between 3 and 8 cubic yards depending on how much lawn you are replacing.

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.

Landscape rock over fabric works well paired with steel or paver edging to keep the stone from migrating onto walkways or driveways. Many Fortuna Foothills customers pair rock beds with a strip of decomposed granite path material for a cohesive desert look. If you have plants that want organic matter, keep them in a separate mulched island rather than mixing them into the rock bed.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Fortuna Foothills, lay landscape fabric before the rock, not after, and overlap the seams by a few inches since the sandy loam underneath will let weeds punch through gaps fast in warm months. Pin the fabric down every couple feet. Skipping this step is the single biggest reason rock beds here need a redo within a few years instead of lasting the decade they should.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock traps blown leaves and mesquite pods more than people expect, especially against block walls where wind piles debris. Plan on blowing or raking the surface a few times a year rather than letting organic litter break down into the rock and feed weed seeds. This is a five minute job with a leaf blower, but skipping it for a full season lets soil build up in the gaps.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you are covering a large front yard, buying rock in bulk cubic yards delivered is almost always more efficient than bagged material, both in cost per square foot and in truck trips. Consider ordering a slightly larger quantity than your calculated minimum, since rock left over stores indefinitely in a driveway pile or side yard, unlike mulch which breaks down if you hold onto it.

Decorative Stone in Fortuna Foothills

Fortuna Foothills sits on sandy loam at 345 feet, soil that drains fast and offers rock almost nothing to fight against, no mud, no heaving. With zone 10a heat baking most of the year, decorative rock does not fade, mat down, or attract termites the way organic mulch can near the foundation. It is the standard choice for xeriscape beds and front yards that face full sun most of the day. Around the Gila Mountains foothill lots, where views matter, rock also stays put in the wind that comes down off the range instead of blowing into the neighbor's yard.

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 hold up in the Fortuna Foothills summer heat?

Yes, screened rock does not degrade, fade, or break down in extreme heat the way organic mulch does. It is one of the more heat stable groundcovers available, which is part of why it is common in zone 10a yards. The only real maintenance is occasionally clearing wind blown debris off the surface.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a typical front yard?

One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth. A standard 1,000 square foot front yard bed runs roughly 6 to 7 cubic yards at that depth, or closer to 9 to 10 yards if you install at 3 inches for a heavier look.

Answer

What time of year is best to install landscape rock here?

Cooler months, roughly November through March, are easier for the actual labor of laying fabric and spreading rock since you are not working in peak desert heat. That said, rock installs fine year round since there is no plant establishment period to time around, unlike sod or new landscaping.

Answer

Can the delivery truck reach my property if I am off a gravel access road?

In most cases yes, our drivers regularly deliver to gravel and dirt access roads common in the Foothills area. Let us know at checkout if your driveway has tight clearance or a steep grade so we can plan the drop location, since the load gets placed as close to your work area as the truck can safely get.

Answer

Should I use landscape rock or decomposed granite for my yard?

Landscape rock works better as a defined bed groundcover around plants and foundations, while DG is better suited to walkways and open patio areas where you want a firmer, walkable surface. Many Foothills yards use both, rock in the planted beds and DG for the paths connecting them.
