At a standard 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. Measure your bed length by width, decide if you want 2 inches for a lighter refresh look or a full 3 inches for better fabric coverage and long-term durability, then order accordingly. Most Hampton front-yard beds run a few hundred square feet, so plan for multiple yards rather than rounding down.

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.

One of the easiest customer service experiences I've had in a long time! Mulch Mound made it so simple. After putting it off for a while, I looked at the weather and knew I needed to get to mulching ASAP before the rain came if I didn't want to wait another week. I put my order in for the next day online and they came right at 9 AM. The employee who dropped off the mulch did a great job, putting it right on the tarp I laid out, she even made sure none of it got on the yard and double checked the truck bed to make sure it all came out. The mulch was exactly what I needed and arrived right on time.

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!

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric goes down first, always, rock without a barrier just sinks into Hampton's sandy loam within a season or two. Steel or aluminum edging keeps rock from migrating into the lawn during heavy rain, and a lot of customers pair a smaller load of rock near the house with mulch further out in planting beds that still need organic matter.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before any rock goes down, and overlap the seams by at least six inches so sandy loam does not work its way up through the gaps over time. Skip fabric and you will be pulling weeds out of the rock bed within a year. Pin the fabric edges under your border or edging material so wind and rain do not lift it before the rock settles in.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see in Hampton yards is rock installed flush against siding or stucco. Leave a couple inches of clearance from the foundation and slope the bed slightly away from the house, otherwise splashing rain during our heavy summer storms wicks moisture into the wall over time. This matters more here than in drier climates because of how much rain we get May through September.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock is a one time cost that outlasts several seasons of mulch refreshes, so factor that into how you compare pricing. If you are doing a large front yard, consider a cheaper mulch in planting beds where you want organic matter feeding the soil, and save rock for foundation lines and downspout zones where drainage and permanence matter more than soil health.

Decorative Stone in Hampton

Hampton's sandy loam drains fast, which is exactly why rock works so well here, water moves through instead of pooling against foundations near Fort Monroe and the older neighborhoods with tight crawl spaces. With a zone 8a growing season that runs long and wet in spring, rock over fabric keeps mud out of beds without you fighting weeds every few weeks. It is the right call for downspout splash zones and front-yard groundcover where you want the space to look finished and stay that way through our mild winters.

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

How long does landscape rock actually last once it is installed in Hampton?

With fabric underneath and proper edging, rock holds its look for a decade or more without needing to be replaced. Unlike mulch, it does not break down or need an annual refresh, though you may need to top off a few inches in high traffic areas or spots that catch runoff.

Answer

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

At 2 inches deep, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 300 square foot bed needs just under 2 cubic yards. At 3 inches deep for better long-term coverage, plan closer to 2.5 to 3 cubic yards. Always round up since rock is sold by the yard and running short means a second delivery.

Answer

Is there a best time of year to install rock in Hampton?

Late fall through early spring works well here since the ground is drier and easier to prep before Hampton's humid, rainy summer sets in. Installing before the last frost in mid-April also means your fabric and edging are settled before heavy spring rain tests the drainage.

Answer

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

The load gets placed in your driveway or the closest spot the truck can safely reach to your project area. Clear a space of at least 10 by 10 feet, keep vehicles out of the way, and let us know at checkout if you have a tight driveway or low hanging branches that might affect access.

Answer

Should I use rock or mulch around my foundation here in Hampton?

Rock generally wins near foundations and downspouts because it drains fast and does not need replacing, which matters given our sandy loam and heavy seasonal rain. Mulch is better in planting beds where you want organic matter breaking down into the soil around shrubs and perennials, so a lot of Hampton yards use both.
