Easy to order, great service, and great product. We enjoy the final look of a very neglected beds we inherited!

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, or a bit less if you go closer to 3 inches for better weed suppression. Measure your bed in square feet, divide by 162, and round up to the next quarter yard. A typical Hicksville front bed, 200 to 300 square feet, usually runs 1.5 to 2 cubic yards at 2 inches.

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.

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes rock a decade-long install instead of a weed farm, so budget for enough to cover the full bed plus overlap. Steel or aluminum edging keeps rock from migrating into the lawn, especially useful along the smaller lot lines common in Hicksville. Some customers pair a rock border with mulch in the planting beds themselves, since rock against foundations and mulch around plants gives each area what it actually needs.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Sandy loam like most of Hicksville has drains well already, so skip the temptation to skip fabric under rock thinking drainage alone will stop weeds. Fabric plus 2 to 3 inches of rock is what actually blocks weed germination long term. Without it, wind blown soil settles into the gaps between stones within a couple seasons and weeds root right into that thin layer, defeating the whole point of a one time install.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock traps fallen leaves instead of breaking them down like mulch does, and Hicksville's tree cover means autumn leaf litter is a real maintenance item. Plan on blowing or raking beds clear a few times each fall, especially before the first frost around Nov 1, or leaves mat down into the rock and rot in place, which stains the stone and invites fungal growth.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Since this is a one time install rather than an annual refresh like mulch, it pays to size the order right the first time rather than ordering light and topping off later, since matching stone color and size from a different batch can look patchy. Get an accurate square footage measurement before ordering and round up slightly rather than under buying.

Decorative Stone in Hicksville

Hicksville sits at 149 feet on mostly sandy loam, soil that drains fast and does not hold rock in place through frost heave the way clay does further inland. That is good news for rock beds, since freeze thaw cycles between the Nov 1 and Apr 15 frost dates are less likely to shift stone once it is bedded over fabric. Zone 7b winters bring enough freezing and thawing that homeowners here often choose rock specifically to stop replacing mulch every spring. It is a common choice for the tight front yards near downtown and around foundations where downspouts dump water fast.

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

Does landscape rock work well with Hicksville's sandy soil?

Yes, sandy loam drains fast, which pairs well with rock since it prevents the standing water that can shift stone or wash out fabric underneath. The main thing to watch is fabric installation quality, since without it, sandy soil migrates up between the stones over time and creates a bed for weeds.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a typical front yard bed?

One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth. Most Hicksville front beds run 200 to 300 square feet, which typically needs 1.5 to 2 cubic yards. Measure your bed and divide by 162, then round up to account for settling and edge waste.

Answer

When is the best time to install landscape rock before winter?

Aim to finish before the first frost around Nov 1 so fabric and stone settle before the ground freezes. Installing in late fall or early spring, before Apr 15's last frost, avoids working in frozen or waterlogged soil and gives the bed a clean start for the growing season.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock on my property?

Delivery is scheduled at checkout, and the driver places the load at the curb, driveway, or another accessible spot you specify. Make sure the drop zone is clear and reachable, since bulk rock is dumped as one load rather than carried in and spread by hand.

Answer

Should I choose landscape rock or mulch for beds near my house?

Rock is a strong choice right against foundations and around downspouts since it does not break down or need annual replacement, unlike mulch. But if you have plants that benefit from organic matter feeding the soil, mulch is the better fit there, so many Hicksville yards use rock near the house and mulch in planting beds.
