About this landscape rock

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

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!

At a 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the low end of that range. Measure your bed length and width, decide on 2 or 3 inches based on how much weed and erosion resistance you want, then order in full cubic yard increments since this is not a material you want to run short on mid job.

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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Most rock jobs in Fulshear start with landscape fabric to keep the clay soil from working its way up through the stone over time. Steel or aluminum edging holds a clean line against St. Augustine lawns, which are the norm in most subdivisions here. If you have planting beds mixed in, keep a mulch zone separate since rock and root systems that want organic matter do not mix well long term.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before you spread rock, but overlap the seams by at least 6 inches and pin them down well. Fulshear's clay loam expands and contracts with the rain cycles here, and loose fabric seams let soil push through within a year or two, which means weeds growing right through your new rock bed. A stapled, overlapped fabric layer is what actually makes this a one time install instead of a two year redo.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see locally is people installing rock too thin to save material, then wondering why weeds come through by summer. Stick to the full 2 to 3 inch depth across the whole bed, not just the visible edges. Thin spots are where fabric shows and where grass and clay soil find their way up first, usually right along the border closest to the lawn.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock does not feed your soil or break down like mulch, so keep it out of beds with perennials or anything that wants organic matter added yearly. It works best as a permanent groundcover near foundations, walkways, and downspouts, areas where you want zero maintenance rather than a living planting bed. Pair it with mulch in the actual plant beds and save rock for the utility zones of the yard.

Decorative Stone in Fulshear

Fulshear's clay loam holds water after storms, and a lot of new construction lots here have poor drainage right along the foundation. Landscape rock over fabric gives you a permanent surface that will not float away or turn to mud the way mulch can in a wet spring. It is a common choice around downspouts and foundation lines in the newer subdivisions going up around town, where builders left minimal topsoil to work with. It also holds up through the long Zone 9a summers without breaking down like organic material does.

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 before I need to redo it?

Installed correctly over fabric, landscape rock is essentially a one time project, not something you refresh yearly like mulch. It does not break down or wash away like organic material. The only maintenance is occasionally blowing out leaves and debris that collect on top, since rock does not trap and compost them the way mulch beds do.

Answer

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

At a 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 300 square foot bed needs just under 2 cubic yards. Round up to 2 full yards to account for depth variation and edges, and go to 3 yards if you want a fuller 3 inch depth instead.

Answer

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

Not really, since rock is not a seasonal material the way mulch or sod can be. Many people prefer to install before the summer heat sets in or after the fall leaf drop so cleanup is easier at first. With first frost around November 17 and last frost near March 30, there is no real weather window you have to work around.

Answer

Where will the rock be dropped and can your truck get down my street?

Our driver places the load on your driveway or another hard surface spot you specify in the delivery notes at checkout. Most streets in Fulshear subdivisions handle our trucks fine, but if you have a narrow lane, low hanging trees, or an HOA restriction, mention it in the notes so we can plan the drop accordingly.

Answer

Should I use rock or mulch around my foundation?

Rock is the better choice right against the foundation since it does not hold moisture against the house the way mulch can, and it will not need replacing every year or two. Mulch makes more sense in planting beds where you want organic matter breaking down into the soil. Many Fulshear homeowners use rock along the foundation and downspouts, then mulch in the actual planting beds further out.
