At the standard 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. Measure your bed's length and width, decide if you want a thinner 2 inch layer or a fuller 3 inch layer, then order in full cubic yards since this stone is priced and delivered that way, not by the bag.

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.

Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

Landscape fabric underneath is what turns this from a five year fix into a decade long groundcover, so it's worth laying before the rock goes down. Edging material keeps the stone from migrating into the lawn or driveway, which matters more here where clay soil holds shape and rock can settle unevenly without a defined border. Some Fremont customers pair a rock border with mulch in the planting beds themselves, since rock against the foundation and mulch around perennials gives you drainage where you need it and organic matter where the plants want it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock, not after, and overlap the seams by at least 6 inches. In Fremont's clay loam, skipping fabric means weeds root directly into the clay beneath the stone within a season or two, and once that happens you're pulling rock aside to get at the roots. Fabric first turns a one time install into an actual decade long groundcover instead of a yearly weeding chore.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see is installing rock too deep, thinking more coverage means less maintenance. Past 3 inches, rock beds start trapping leaves and organic debris in the gaps, and Fremont's tree cover means plenty of fall leaf litter. Stick to the 2 to 3 inch range and rake or blow leaves out in autumn before they break down into the stone and start feeding weed seeds.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock pairs well with mulch zones rather than replacing them everywhere. Use rock tight against the foundation and along downspouts where drainage matters most, and save mulch for planting beds where perennials benefit from organic matter breaking into the clay loam over time. This split use gets you the low maintenance win without starving your plants of the soil improvement mulch provides.

Decorative Stone in Fremont

Fremont sits on clay loam that drains slowly and holds water after storms, which is exactly the kind of ground where rock outperforms mulch around foundations and downspouts. With winters that push into the teens and a first frost around October 15, organic mulch breaks down fast here, but screened stone just sits through freeze and thaw without shifting much. A lot of Fremont yards run rock beds along the house to keep splashback and mud off siding, especially near older homes close to the Hayes Center where foundations are original brick and mortar. It also holds up fine through our wetter spring stretch before the May 6 last frost when everything else in the yard is still soggy.

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 Fremont's clay soil without sinking or shifting?

Yes, as long as fabric goes down first. Clay loam holds moisture and can shift with freeze thaw cycles, and without a fabric barrier the rock will slowly settle into the soil over a few seasons. With fabric properly overlapped underneath, the rock stays on top and drains well since Fremont's clay tends to hold water rather than absorb it.

Answer

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

At a 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs roughly 1.25 cubic yards. Round up to a full 1.5 yards to account for uneven ground and edges, since running short mid install means a second delivery.

Answer

Is there a bad time of year to install rock in Fremont?

Rock can go down almost any time the ground isn't frozen solid, but late fall right before the October 15 first frost is tricky since wet leaves fall right into a fresh bed. Late spring after the May 6 last frost, once the ground has dried out from snowmelt, tends to give the cleanest install conditions.

Answer

Where will the truck place the rock, and what do I need to prepare?

The truck drops the load in your driveway or another firm, accessible surface, wherever you specify. Make sure there's a clear path at least as wide as a standard delivery truck, and have your unload spot marked out ahead of time since we place the pile there rather than moving it around the yard.

Answer

Should I choose landscape rock or mulch for the beds along my house?

Rock is the better call right against the foundation and around downspouts, since it won't break down and it moves water away rather than holding it against your siding. For planting beds where you've got perennials or shrubs that benefit from organic matter working into the clay loam, mulch is still the better fit. Plenty of Fremont yards use both, splitting the job by zone.
