One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, or a bit less if you go to 3 inches for a heavier look or better weed suppression. Measure your bed's length and width, multiply for square footage, then divide by 162 to get a rough yard count at standard depth. Most Hampton Bays front beds and downspout aprons run 3 to 6 yards depending on how much of the yard you're converting.

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.

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.

Rock beds hold up best over landscape fabric, so pair your order with fabric if you don't already have it down. Edging, whether metal, stone, or paver, keeps rock from migrating into the lawn, which matters on sandy soil where things shift more than on heavier ground. A lot of customers also order a small amount of topsoil or mulch separately for planting pockets they want to keep organic within the rock field.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after. In Hampton Bays' sandy loam, skipping fabric means the rock slowly sinks into the soil over a season or two and weeds punch through from below. Fabric also keeps the rock from mixing with the sand underneath, which is what actually gives you that decade long groundcover instead of a bed that needs topping off every few years.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake locally is using rock right up against foundation plantings that want organic matter. Rock reflects heat and blocks water and nutrients from reaching soil, so anything besides drought tough shrubs will struggle. Keep rock for the open groundcover areas and downspout aprons, and use mulch or bark in beds where you're actually growing something that needs to be fed.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order slightly more than your calculated yardage rather than less, since running short mid project means a second delivery fee and a mismatched batch if the quarry's screening changes even slightly. Rock is a one time cost that outlasts mulch for years, so a small overage upfront is cheaper long term than repeat mulch deliveries every spring.

Decorative Stone in Hampton Bays

Hampton Bays sits on sandy loam that drains almost too well, so rock beds here stay dry and stable instead of turning muddy like they might on clay soil further inland. With zone 7b winters and a frost window running November 9 to April 26, the ground freezes and thaws less dramatically near the water, so rock stays put without much heaving. A lot of yards near the Shinnecock Canal use rock beds to handle runoff and salt spray where grass and mulch struggle. It is also a practical choice for the second home crowd who want a yard that looks finished without a spring refresh.

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 sink into the sandy soil here over time?

It can if it's laid directly on bare soil, since Hampton Bays' sandy loam shifts more than clay. Laying landscape fabric first prevents this by keeping the rock separated from the soil underneath. Done that way, a rock bed here holds its depth and look for a decade or more without needing to be topped off.

Answer

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

At the standard 2 inch depth, one yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 300 square foot bed needs a little under 2 cubic yards. Round up to about 2 yards to account for depth variation and bed edges that aren't perfectly square, and go slightly higher if you want a 3 inch depth.

Answer

Is fall or spring a better time to install rock in Hampton Bays?

Either works since rock doesn't depend on planting season, but many people install after the fall cleanup, ahead of the November 9 frost, so the bed looks finished through winter. Spring works too, especially before last frost on April 26 wraps up and yard projects pick back up across the area.

Answer

Where will the truck place the rock on delivery day?

The driver drops the load wherever you specify, usually a driveway or the closest accessible spot to your project area, since rock is heavy and not something to wheelbarrow far. Delivery is scheduled at checkout, and it helps to clear the drop zone ahead of time and make sure the truck has a clear path in.

Answer

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

Rock is the better call around downspouts since it won't wash away or break down from constant moisture the way mulch does. It also handles the sandy runoff common in Hampton Bays better, staying in place instead of migrating with water flow. Mulch is a better fit for planting beds where you want organic matter feeding the soil over time.
