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, or somewhat less if you go to 3 inches for better weed suppression. Measure your bed's length and width, decide on depth based on how much clay showthrough you want to prevent, and order by the cubic yard rather than by the bag once you're past a small border. Most foundation and downspout runs in Greenwood fall between 1 and 3 yards.

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

Landscape fabric goes down first so the rock stays separated from Greenwood's clay and doesn't sink in over a season. Edging, whether steel or paver, keeps rock from migrating into the lawn when it rains hard. Some customers also order a bit of mulch for planting pockets within the rock bed where they want shrubs to actually get organic matter.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because Greenwood's soil is heavy red clay, grade your bed with a slight slope away from the foundation before laying fabric. Rock alone won't fix a drainage problem, it just sits on top of it. Skipping this step means water can pool under the fabric during summer storms and eventually push rock out of place at the low edges.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake locally is skipping fabric to save a step, then watching red clay work its way up through the rock within a year or two as worms and rain mix the layers. Fabric is what makes this a one time install instead of a yearly chore, so it's worth doing right the first time.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you're covering a large front bed, order landscape rock for the open groundcover areas and keep a smaller amount of mulch on hand for planting pockets around shrubs or perennials that need organic matter. This mixed approach costs less overall than rocking beds that actually need to feed soil, and it keeps maintenance low where it matters.

Decorative Stone in Greenwood

Greenwood's red clay drains slowly, so a lot of homeowners end up with standing water along foundations and downspouts after summer thunderstorms. Landscape rock set over fabric solves that by shedding water instead of holding it against the house, which clay soil already does too well on its own. In zone 8a, the freeze thaw cycle is mild enough that rock stays put without heaving, so a properly graded rock bed here can look the same in ten years as it did on install day. It's a common choice for the low, foundation-hugging beds you see around the older homes near downtown and out toward Lake Greenwood.

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

Answer

Will landscape rock work over Greenwood's red clay without extra prep?

You'll want to grade the bed and lay landscape fabric first, rock set directly on clay will eventually sink and let clay push up through it. With fabric in place, the rock stays separated and drains properly, giving you a bed that holds its look for many years without the clay showing through.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 300 square foot bed?

At a 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 300 square foot bed needs roughly 2 cubic yards. If you're going to 3 inches for better coverage near downspouts, plan on closer to 2.75 to 3 yards for the same area.

Answer

Is there a bad time of year to install landscape rock in Greenwood?

Not really, since rock isn't affected by frost the way plants are, but many people install after leaf drop in late fall so leaves don't immediately clutter a fresh bed. With first frost around October 31, early November is a practical window if you want a clean start heading into spring.

Answer

Where will the rock be placed on delivery day?

The truck places the load wherever you specify, usually the driveway or a curb access point close to the work area, since rock is heavy and not something you want to wheelbarrow far. Let us know at checkout about any gate widths or slopes typical of Greenwood's older lots so the driver can plan the drop.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for a bed near my foundation?

Rock is the better call right against a foundation or downspout since it won't hold moisture against the house the way mulch can, and it won't need replacing every year. Mulch still makes sense for planting beds where shrubs benefit from organic matter breaking down into the clay soil over time.
