About this landscape rock

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

Landscape rock covers about 162 square feet per cubic yard at a 2 inch depth, or less if you go closer to 3 inches for better long-term coverage. Measure your bed's length and width, multiply for square footage, then divide by 162 to get a rough cubic yard count at standard depth. Most front yard beds and downspout runs in Harrison fall between 2 and 6 cubic yards depending on how much of the lot you're covering.

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.

Landscaping fabric underneath is what makes rock a one-time install instead of a weed problem in two years. Steel or aluminum edging keeps rock from migrating into the lawn, especially useful on the sloped lots common around town. Some customers also order a bit of mulch for planting pockets within a rock bed where they still want shrubs to get organic matter.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Cherty silt loam around Harrison has a lot of embedded rock fragments already, so before laying fabric, rake the bed smooth and pull out anything that could puncture it. A punctured fabric barrier means weeds working through gaps within a season or two, defeating the whole point of a decade-long install. Spend the extra twenty minutes on prep, it matters more here than on sandier ground.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see locally is skipping fabric because a bed looks weed-free at install time. Come next spring, seeds blown in from surrounding pasture and wooded lots around the Ozark foothills will germinate straight through bare rock. Fabric is what turns this into a permanent bed instead of an annual chore, don't skip it to save an afternoon.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you're covering a long downspout run or a foundation perimeter, order the full quantity in one delivery rather than splitting it. Rock batches vary slightly in color and size from load to load, and matching a second delivery months later rarely looks seamless. One delivery, one batch, consistent look for the life of the bed.

Decorative Stone in Harrison

Harrison sits at 1247 feet with a first frost around October 25 and last frost near April 12, so the ground here freezes and thaws enough to heave loose material if it is not set right. Cherty silt loam drains reasonably well but still holds clay fines that work up through gaps over time, which is why fabric underneath matters more here than in sandier soils. Homeowners near Courthouse Square and in the older established neighborhoods often use rock along foundations and downspouts where the chert content in the native soil already causes drainage headaches. Done once with proper depth, it outlasts mulch refreshes by a decade or more.

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 in Harrison before it needs replacing?

With fabric underneath and proper depth, landscape rock is essentially a one-time install that lasts a decade or more. It does not break down like mulch, though it will need occasional raking to redistribute after heavy rain and leaf removal each fall since it traps debris instead of feeding it into the soil.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a downspout border around my house?

One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at 2 inches deep. A typical downspout border running the perimeter of a house foundation, say 2 feet wide around a 150 foot perimeter, comes to about 300 square feet, so plan on roughly 2 cubic yards at standard depth.

Answer

When is the best time to install rock before winter sets in?

Aim to finish installation before the first frost around October 25 so the ground is workable and fabric can be staked into soil that isn't frozen. Spring after the last frost in mid April also works well, giving you a full season before winter freeze thaw cycles can shift a fresh bed.

Answer

Where will the truck place the rock and do I need to prep anything?

The delivery truck places the load at a spot you designate, usually a driveway or the edge of the yard closest to your project. Clear a path at least as wide as a standard vehicle and let us know about any low hanging branches or narrow gates that could affect access.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for beds near my foundation?

Rock is the better choice against foundations and downspouts since it does not hold moisture against siding and lasts far longer without refreshing. Mulch feeds soil and suits planting beds where you want organic matter breaking down, so many Harrison yards use both, rock near the house and mulch further out.
