At the standard 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at the shallower end of that range. Measure your bed length by width, decide if you are going 2 or 3 inches deep depending on how much weed suppression you want, and order in full cubic yards since this stone is heavy at 1.35 tons per yard. Most Greenfield front yard beds and downspout borders run somewhere between 1 and 3 yards total.

I recently ordered from mulch mound and was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of the experience. The entire process, from placing the order to delivery was seamless and efficient. The mulch arrived exactly on time, and the quality exceeded my expectations. The color was rich and consistent, and I received more than enough to complete my project with proper coverage and packing.
Customer service was equally outstanding. Communication was clear, and the team was responsive and professional throughout. It’s rare to find a company that delivers both a high-quality product and excellent service, but mulch mound did just that.
Highly recommended, and I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again.

I couldn't be happier with the speed and quality of the mulch delivery service of Mulch Mound. Every detail from ordering, to communication with on time delivery, to perfect product placement was amazing. I needed more and I got it within 2 hours! I'm never doing this with bags again.
Landscape fabric underneath is what makes rock a decade long install instead of a weed patch by year two. Edging material keeps the stone from migrating into the lawn or driveway, which matters more than people expect once mowers and snow shovels start pushing things around. If any beds also need organic material for plants, keep that separate from the rock zones since rock does not feed soil the way mulch does.
Service area
Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap seams by at least six inches. In Greenfield's silt loam, skipping fabric means rock slowly works itself into the soil over a few seasons and you end up with a muddy mess instead of clean stone. Fabric also keeps the silt loam from wicking up through the rock during wet spring stretches, which is common here given how slow this soil drains compared to sandier ground.
The biggest mistake homeowners make with rock beds near mature trees is forgetting about leaf drop. Rock traps leaves instead of breaking them down like mulch does, so beds near oaks or maples need a fall blow out or rake before snow cover, otherwise you get a matted leaf layer sitting on top of the stone all winter that looks bad and holds moisture against the rock.
Rock is a one time cost that outlasts mulch by years, so it is worth pairing with steel or paver edging up front rather than adding it later. Doing both in the same delivery saves a second trip, and edging keeps rock from spreading into the lawn during Greenfield winters when snow removal and freeze thaw cycles push loose material around at the bed edges.
Greenfield sits on silt loam that drains slower than sandy ground, so beds near the house or along downspouts tend to stay damp longer after storms rolling through in spring and fall. Rock over fabric handles that better than mulch does, since it does not break down or mat into the wet soil underneath. With a growing season that runs roughly May through mid October here in zone 5b, homeowners are often working around a narrow install window before the first frost hits in early October. A one time rock install sidesteps that seasonal pressure entirely, since it is not something you have to redo every spring like you would with mulch.
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 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.
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.
