About this landscape rock

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

Online ordering was really simple and I liked the transparent pricing.

At the standard 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at 2 inches, less at 3 inches. Measure your bed's length and width first, then decide on depth based on whether it is a foundation strip or an open groundcover area, since foundation strips usually want the fuller 3 inches to suppress weeds long term. Order by the cubic yard and round up slightly rather than short, since a mid-project top-off delivery is an inconvenience you can avoid.

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 installs here go down over landscape fabric, so budget for that layer and enough anchoring pins before the stone arrives. Edging, whether steel or a simple trenched line, keeps rock from migrating into the lawn during mowing season. If any bed borders planting areas that need real soil feeding, a strip of mulch or compost there works better than rock, since rock never builds soil the way organic material does.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap seams by at least six inches. In Greenlawn's sandy loam, skipping fabric means the rock will slowly sink into the soil over a season or two as fines migrate upward, and you will end up topping off the bed sooner than the decade-plus lifespan rock is supposed to give you.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock traps leaves and organic debris instead of breaking it down, so beds near mature trees need a fall blow-out or light raking before winter. Skipping this in a town with established shade trees means matted, decomposing leaf litter sitting on top of the stone by spring, which looks worse than bare rock and can smother it visually within a year or two.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order a slightly larger cubic yardage than your bare-minimum calculation, since rock delivered short means a second delivery fee and a mismatched batch if the quarry's blend has shifted slightly. Pair rock with mulch in adjacent planting beds rather than using it everywhere, since anywhere you want shrubs or perennials to thrive, organic mulch feeding the soil will outperform stone every time.

Decorative Stone in Greenlawn

Greenlawn's sandy loam drains well on its own, so rock beds here do not fight standing water the way they might in heavier clay soil, which makes rock a genuinely low-maintenance choice rather than a compromise. With a growing season that runs roughly April 3 to November 1, homeowners have a decent installation window before the ground firms up for winter. Given the borough's history with farm plots like the John Gardiner Farm nearby, a lot of yards here still have that open front-lawn layout, and rock groundcover reads clean against it without competing with foundation plantings.

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 in Greenlawn's soil, or will it sink over time?

It works well as long as it goes down over landscape fabric. Greenlawn's sandy loam drains fast, which is good for the rock staying dry, but without fabric the stone will slowly work into the soil over a couple seasons. With fabric installed correctly, it is genuinely a one time install, not something you refresh yearly like mulch.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 200 square foot front bed?

At 2 inches deep, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs a little over 1.2 cubic yards, round up to about 1.5 to have margin. If you want the fuller 3 inch depth for better weed suppression, plan closer to 2 cubic yards.

Answer

What time of year should I install rock in Greenlawn?

Anytime the ground is not frozen works, but late spring after the last frost around April 3 through early fall before November gives you the most workable soil for laying fabric and setting edging. Avoid installing right before a heavy leaf drop season if the bed sits near mature trees, since you will just be raking rock immediately after.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock, and what do I need to prepare?

The truck drops the material at a spot you designate, usually the driveway or curb nearest your project, since the load is too heavy to wheelbarrow far without effort. Clear a path for the truck and make sure there is room to maneuver, and delivery timing itself is scheduled at checkout, not guaranteed to a specific window.

Answer

Should I use rock or mulch around my foundation plantings?

If the plantings need organic matter feeding the soil over time, mulch is the better call, since rock never breaks down to feed anything. Rock earns its keep in low-maintenance strips, around downspouts, or open groundcover areas where you want a permanent look without replenishing it, which mulch requires annually.
