One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install depth for most front-yard beds. For heavier coverage around foundations or downspouts where erosion is a concern, plan closer to 3 inches and adjust your yardage up accordingly. Measure your bed square footage first, then work backward from the 162 square foot figure to land on a cubic yard order.

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.

We have always spread our own mulch for the past 24 years. This was our first time with the Mulch Mound - things I liked: they have online ordering and provide a digital receipt which means you can remember how much you ordered (I always forget for the next year!), they were on time, they were able to deliver in 48 hours, they were generous with the portion (we got 9 yards and it felt like a FULL nine yards!), the driver was polite! We have ordered from reputable places, and there is always a little trash in the mulch. The mulch we recv'd from Mulch Mound had barely any... we were pleasant surprised!!! Color was great! Not to mention - the price was competitive and LOWER than other mulch places around. We will use again !! Highly recommend! Thanks Mulch Mound!

Landscape fabric goes down first if you want that decade-long groundcover effect rather than rock working itself into the sandy soil underneath. A steel edging strip keeps rock from migrating onto the lawn during heavy rain, which matters more here than in drier climates. Many Groveland customers pair a rock bed near the foundation with mulch further out where plants still need organic matter.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock, not after, and overlap the seams by at least six inches. In Groveland's sandy soil, skipping fabric means rock slowly sinks and disappears into the ground over a few seasons, and you end up buying more rock to top it off. Fabric also stops weeds from rooting through, which matters in a zone 9b growing season that barely slows down in winter.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see is rock installed flush against tree trunks or shrub bases. Groveland's sandy soil already drains fast, and rock against the trunk traps heat and moisture unevenly, stressing root flare. Leave a few inches of bare mulch or soil ring around any plant material, and reserve straight rock coverage for open beds, foundation lines, and downspout areas where nothing is trying to grow.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock beds pair well with a one-time delivery mindset, since unlike mulch there is no annual refresh cost to plan for. If you are converting a mulch bed to rock, remove old mulch down to soil first rather than layering rock on top, or you will get uneven settling within the first year as the mulch breaks down underneath.

Decorative Stone in Groveland

Groveland's sandy soil drains fast, which is exactly the kind of ground that lets rain cut channels through mulch beds during our summer downpours. Rock stays put where mulch floats and shifts, especially in beds near Lake David Park style low spots where water collects after a storm. In zone 9b, homeowners here are also fighting sun bleaching on organic mulch faster than most climates, so rock's color holds up better through a long growing season. It suits the low-maintenance, one-and-done approach a lot of Groveland yards are built around.

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 work in Groveland's sandy soil without sinking?

Yes, as long as you install landscape fabric underneath first. Without fabric, sandy soil lets rock work its way down over a couple of years, and you will notice thin spots forming. Fabric creates a barrier that keeps the rock sitting on top where it belongs, and it also blocks weeds from pushing through in our long growing season.

Answer

How much rock do I need for a 200 square foot bed?

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs a little over 1.2 cubic yards. Most people round up to 1.5 yards to account for uneven ground and edging loss. If you want 3 inches for erosion protection near downspouts, plan closer to 1.85 yards.

Answer

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

Not really, since rock installation is not weather dependent the way planting is. That said, installing before our summer rainy season means fabric and edging have time to settle before heavy runoff tests them. Frost is not a factor here given our mild winters, so timing comes down to your own schedule rather than the calendar.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock, and how do I prep for it?

The truck places your load in the driveway or another accessible spot you specify at checkout. Clear a path at least ten feet wide for the truck to access, and have a tarp or plywood down if you want to protect a paved surface, since a full load of rock is heavy and can settle in as it's dropped.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for beds around my Groveland foundation?

Rock is generally the better call for foundation beds since it does not hold moisture against siding the way mulch can, and it will not need replacing for years. Mulch still makes sense for beds where you are actively growing shrubs or perennials that benefit from organic matter breaking down into the sandy soil over time.
