About this landscape rock

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

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, or a bit less if you go closer to 3 inches for better weed suppression. Measure your bed's length and width, decide on depth based on how much foot traffic or slope you have, and order in full cubic yards since this is a one time install you want to get right. Most Greenwood front beds and foundation strips run a couple yards of rock total.

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.

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade-long install instead of a weed patch, so pair your rock order with fabric if you do not already have it down. A steel or aluminum edging strip keeps the stone from migrating into the lawn, especially useful on the sloped lots common around Greenwood. If you have planting beds nearby, keep a mulch buffer there since rock and root zones do not mix well.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Greenwood's silt loam holds moisture longer than sandy soils, so lay landscape fabric first and make sure it's rated for heavy clay-adjacent soils, not the thin stuff. Skipping fabric here means silt works up through the rock within a year or two and you're left picking stone out of mud. Overlap fabric seams by at least six inches and pin every two feet since our soil shifts with wet and dry cycles.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see locally is installing rock right up against foundation plantings that need organic matter, azaleas and camellias especially. Rock traps leaf litter instead of breaking it down, and around plant roots that starves the soil over time. Keep rock for open beds, downspout aprons, and foundation strips without heavy planting, and reserve mulch for anything actively growing.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your full yardage in one delivery rather than staggering purchases, since this is meant to be a one time install and matching stone color or size across separate loads gets tricky. If you're covering both a front bed and a drainage area near downspouts, combine those into a single order to simplify delivery and keep your material consistent across the whole property.

Decorative Stone in Greenwood

Greenwood sits on silt loam that holds water and packs down after our spring storms roll off the Yazoo River bottomlands, which means mulch beds near downspouts turn to soup by June. Landscape rock over fabric solves that drainage headache and does not wash away or need replacing every season. Around the historic homes near Grand Boulevard, homeowners use it for clean, low-maintenance foundation borders that hold up in zone 8a heat. It will not feed your soil, so keep it out of beds where azaleas or other organic-loving plants are rooted.

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 hold up in Greenwood's humidity and heavy rain?

Yes, screened decorative rock does not degrade from moisture the way mulch does. With fabric underneath it drains well and resists the silt loam runoff common here after spring storms. The stone itself is inert, so humidity and rain cycles through zone 8a summers won't break it down or wash it out like organic mulch.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a downspout drainage area?

A typical 10 by 10 foot drainage apron at 2 inches deep needs a little over half a cubic yard, since one yard covers about 162 square feet at that depth. Going to 3 inches for better erosion control around downspouts uses more material, so round up to a full yard for small areas to avoid running short.

Answer

What time of year should I install landscape rock in Greenwood?

Late fall through early spring works well here, after our first frost around November 6 and before the last frost in late March, since the ground is easier to prep and you avoid installing fabric during peak summer humidity. That said, this is a permanent install, so timing matters less than getting your fabric and edging right.

Answer

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

We place the load wherever you specify at checkout, typically the driveway or closest accessible spot to your project area. Make sure there's a clear path for the truck, especially on older Greenwood lots near Grand Boulevard with narrower driveways or mature trees, and let us know if access is tight.

Answer

Should I use landscape rock or mulch for my foundation beds?

Rock makes sense for foundation strips and downspout areas where you want a permanent, low-maintenance surface that will not wash out in our silt loam runoff. Mulch is better where you have plants that benefit from organic matter breaking down into the soil, like azaleas. Many Greenwood yards use both, rock near the house and mulch in planting beds further out.
