Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric goes down first and matters more with this material than almost any other, since it is what keeps Green Bay's clay from working up through the rock over time. Steel or aluminum edging holds the line where rock meets lawn, and a few downspout extensions pair well since rock beds are a common fix for erosion at the foundation.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock, not after, and overlap seams by at least six inches since Green Bay's clay will find any gap and push up through it within a season or two. Skip fabric only in spots getting a French drain or gravel base for drainage work, everywhere else it is what makes this a one time install instead of a yearly chore.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock traps leaves and pine needles instead of breaking them down like mulch does, and Green Bay's oak and maple canopy sheds hard in October right around first frost. Plan on blowing or raking beds clear a couple times in fall, otherwise decomposing leaf litter builds a thin soil layer on top of the rock that weeds will find within a year.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order the full yardage in one delivery rather than staging two smaller loads, since rock color can vary slightly between batches even from the same quarry run. Getting it all at once keeps your bed looking uniform, which matters more with rock than with mulch since it is not getting replaced or blended in next season.

Decorative Stone in Green Bay

Green Bay's clay soil holds water and heaves with our freeze thaw cycle, which is hard on plants but not a problem for screened rock over fabric. With first frost landing around October 5 and last frost stretching to May 10, this zone 5a climate gives you a short install window before winter, and rock laid now stays put through the freeze without settling or washing out. It is a common choice around Titletown area homes near Lambeau Field where owners want tidy foundation beds that do not need seasonal mulch swaps. Because it sits on top of fabric rather than in the clay, it sidesteps the drainage issues that plague this soil.

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 sink into Green Bay's clay soil over time?

Not if fabric is installed underneath. The fabric is what keeps rock from working down into the clay and clay from pushing up into the rock. Skip that step and you will see rock disappear into the soil within a couple of freeze thaw cycles, since our clay shifts more than sandy soils do.

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, so measure your bed's length times width in square feet and divide by 162. Most foundation beds run 3 to 4 feet wide, so a 40 foot run of foundation typically needs around 1 cubic yard at that depth.

Answer

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

Late fall right before ground freeze is tighter timing since you want fabric staked into soil that is not already frozen solid. Aim to finish installs before late October if possible. Spring after last frost in May works well too, and since rock is a one time install, either season sets you up for years without touching it again.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock on my property?

We place it on your driveway or another hard, accessible surface you specify at checkout, as close to the work area as the truck can safely reach. Let us know if you have a narrow driveway or low hanging branches so we can plan the drop spot before the truck arrives.

Answer

Why choose rock over mulch for a Green Bay yard?

Rock is a one time install that does not need an annual refresh like mulch does, and it handles our freeze thaw cycle without breaking down. The tradeoff is it does not feed the soil the way mulch does, so it works best for foundation beds and groundcover areas rather than beds full of plants that want organic matter.
