Grand Forks Landscape Rock Delivery

About this landscape rock

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

Delivery was smooth and on time!
The triple shredded mulch was great quality and just what we were looking for.

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install depth for most front yard beds and foundation borders. Going to 3 inches for heavier drainage areas near downspouts will use more material per square foot, so measure your bed first and decide on depth before ordering. Because this is sold by the cubic yard, it pays to slightly overestimate rather than run short on a one time install.

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 beds in Grand Forks go down over landscape fabric, so grab that before your delivery lands. Edging, whether steel or a poly border, keeps rock from migrating into the lawn during mowing season, and a few bags of soil conditioner nearby can help any adjacent planting beds handle our clay loam better.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In our silty clay loam, skip laying rock directly on bare soil. Lay landscape fabric first or the rock will slowly work itself into the clay over a season or two, especially after spring thaw saturates the ground. Fabric also stops clay from wicking up between the stones, which keeps the bed looking clean instead of muddy by the second summer.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock beds trap fallen leaves instead of breaking them down like mulch does, and Grand Forks has plenty of deciduous trees dropping leaves before that September 24 first frost. Plan on a leaf blower pass or two each fall, otherwise decomposing leaf litter builds a thin soil layer on top of your rock that lets weed seeds take hold.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because this is a one time install rather than an annual refresh like mulch, it is worth ordering slightly more than your calculation to have extra on hand for future edging repairs or expanding the bed later. Matching rock color and size later can be tricky if a supplier's stone mix shifts, so a small reserve pile stored in a bucket saves headaches down the road.

Decorative Stone in Grand Forks

Grand Forks sits on heavy silty clay loam that drains slowly, and that matters when you are picking rock for beds near the foundation or along a downspout line where water pools after Red River snowmelt. Rock over landscape fabric keeps that runoff moving instead of turning your bed into a mud trap through spring thaw. With winters running well below freezing and a growing season that only opens up around May 19, homeowners here like beds that need zero attention once the frost is gone. It is also a practical choice if you are tired of clay soil swallowing mulch every year and want something that stays put through the freeze thaw cycle.

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

Does landscape rock work well with our clay soil here in Grand Forks?

Yes, as long as you install landscape fabric underneath first. Our silty clay loam drains slowly, and without a fabric barrier the rock will sink into the soil over time and mud will work its way up between stones. With fabric down, rock stays clean and separated from the clay for years.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a bed along my foundation?

One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is standard for foundation beds. Measure your bed's length and width, multiply for square footage, then divide by 162. If you want more drainage capacity near downspouts, use a 3 inch depth and divide by roughly 108 instead.

Answer

When is the best time to install rock before winter hits?

Aim to finish before late September, since our first frost lands around September 24 and frozen ground makes fabric staking and grading much harder. Late summer, once the soil has dried out a bit from spring, is usually the easiest window to work in.

Answer

Where will the truck place the rock on delivery day?

The driver drops the load wherever you specify, typically the driveway or curb closest to your project. Make sure there is a clear path for a full size truck and enough room to dump without blocking your garage or neighbors' access, especially if your street narrows in winter with snow piled at the curbs.

Answer

Why choose rock instead of mulch for a front yard bed here?

Rock is a one time install that will not need replacing every spring the way mulch does, which matters if you would rather not deal with a fresh delivery every year. The tradeoff is that rock does not feed the soil like organic mulch does, so it is better suited to foundation beds and groundcover than to beds with plants that want richer soil.
