About this landscape rock

Smooth tumbled river rock, heavy enough to stay put in drainage runs and handsome enough for beds and borders.

Ordered Dirt. Received Dirt. Would Buy Again.

At a standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet, so a typical 300 square foot front bed runs close to 2 cubic yards. If you want a deeper 3 inch layer for better weed suppression over clay, plan on roughly 108 square feet per yard instead. Measure your bed in square feet and divide by the coverage number for your chosen depth before you order.

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 approximately 2,000 pounds. Coverage varies by stone type and depth, but as a general guideline, one ton covers roughly 80-100 square feet at 2 inches deep.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric goes down first to keep the rock from disappearing into that black clay over a few seasons. Steel or aluminum edging holds a clean line where rock meets turf, which matters more here since clay soil tends to heave edging that is only pinned in place. Some customers add a few inches of compacted base material first if the bed holds standing water after rain.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Frisco's black clay expands and contracts enough that fabric edges can work loose within a year or two if they are not pinned every 12 to 18 inches with metal staples. Skimping on staples is the most common reason rock beds here end up with fabric poking through by the second summer. Spend the extra time pinning it down tight against the clay before you ever spread the first scoop of rock.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because rock traps leaves instead of breaking them down, beds near mature oaks or elms need a leaf blower pass every fall and again after the first hard freeze around late November. Skipping this turns the rock bed into a compost layer within a season, which defeats the entire point of choosing rock over mulch in the first place.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your project includes both a foundation border and a larger front bed, order the rock as one combined cubic yardage rather than splitting into two smaller deliveries. It reduces the leftover pile problem, and any extra can be banked along a fence line or drainage swale instead of wasted.

Decorative Stone in Frisco

Frisco sits on heavy black clay that swells when wet and cracks hard when dry, which means anything organic breaks down fast in the swing between a humid June and a bone dry August. Rock does not care about that cycle, it just sits there. A lot of newer builds around town went in on shallow, compacted subgrade, so rock over landscape fabric is a common fix for beds that flood every time a Toyota Stadium game night storm rolls through. It is also the go to for foundation borders on slab homes where clay shrink swell already stresses the perimeter.

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

Answer

How long does landscape rock actually last in Frisco before it needs replacing?

Properly installed over fabric, landscape rock is essentially a one time install, most homeowners never redo it. Unlike mulch, it does not break down or need an annual refresh. The only maintenance is occasional leaf and debris removal and topping off any spot where rock has migrated over the years.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 400 square foot bed?

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 400 square foot bed needs close to 2.5 cubic yards. If you are going with a deeper 3 inch layer for better long term weed control, plan on around 3.7 cubic yards instead.

Answer

Can I install landscape rock myself over Frisco's clay soil?

Yes, most homeowners handle it themselves, the key step is laying landscape fabric over the clay first so the rock does not slowly sink into the soil over time. Skipping fabric on clay leads to rock disappearing into the ground within a few years, especially in low spots that hold water after rain.

Answer

Where will the truck place the rock on delivery day?

The driver dumps the full load in one spot, typically your driveway or curb, so make sure there is clear truck access beforehand. Have a tarp or plywood down if you want to protect a driveway surface, and plan your wheelbarrow route to the bed before the truck shows up.

Answer

Should I use landscape rock or mulch around my foundation?

Rock is the better call for foundation borders on slab homes, it does not hold moisture against the foundation the way mulch can, and it will not need replacing every year or two. Mulch is better where you actually want organic matter feeding nearby plants, rock is better where drainage and permanence matter more.
