Very easy to place order online for our exact needs and very flexible for when we needed

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install depth for groundcover beds. If you want better weed suppression or you are covering a foundation strip that gets a lot of runoff, push to 3 inches and expect closer to 108 square feet per yard. Measure your bed length and width first, then decide on depth based on how much water that spot actually sees.

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.

Landscape fabric underneath is worth doing right the first time, since rock is not something you want to pull up and relay in a year. A lot of customers pair rock beds with steel or paver edging to keep it from migrating onto the lawn, especially on the sloped lots common around High Point. If you have planting beds nearby that actually need organic matter, keep the rock and mulch zones separate rather than mixing them.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap the seams by at least six inches. High Point's red clay will work its way up through gaps over a few seasons if the fabric is not continuous, and once rock is spread it is a real job to pull it back and fix a torn seam. Pin the fabric edges under the border or edging so it does not shift during install.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see locally is skipping edging around rock beds on sloped yards. Without a hard edge, rock migrates into the lawn during heavy rain and ends up in the mower. A steel or paver border holds the line and also keeps mulch from neighboring beds from drifting into the rock over time.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Buying the full cubic yards you need in one delivery is more efficient than ordering bagged rock in batches from a home center, both in cost per yard and in the number of trips you make. Since this is a one time install rather than something you refresh yearly like mulch, it is worth getting the depth and coverage right the first time so you are not topping it off later.

Decorative Stone in High Point

High Point sits on red clay that holds water and turns to soup after a heavy spring rain, which is exactly the kind of ground where organic mulch rots fast and rock does not. A lot of the older neighborhoods near downtown have foundation beds that flood at the downspout corners, and a rock bed over fabric there sheds water instead of holding it against the house. With winters dropping to first frost by November 3 and clay that heaves a bit when it freezes, rock also does not compact or wash away like a lighter material would. It is a common choice for the low slopes around here where mulch tends to migrate downhill after storms.

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 over High Point's red clay soil or do I need to do something first?

Rock works well over clay as long as you put landscape fabric down first. The fabric keeps the clay from working up through the rock over time and also improves drainage right at the surface. Skipping the fabric step means you will likely see rock sinking into the clay within a couple of years.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a bed along my foundation?

One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at the standard 2 inch depth. For a typical 20 foot foundation strip that is 3 feet wide, that is 60 square feet, so well under half a yard, though most suppliers deliver in whole or half yard increments so you will likely round up.

Answer

Is spring or fall a better time to install rock in High Point?

Either works, but fall after the last hot stretch and before the November 3 first frost is easier on installers and the clay is usually drier and easier to grade. Spring works too, just avoid installing right after heavy rain when the clay is soft, since you want a firm base before the fabric and rock go down.

Answer

Can the delivery truck get to a driveway on a sloped lot?

Most residential driveways work fine, but if your clay driveway is soft or on a steep grade after rain, let us know your drop location at checkout so the load goes somewhere accessible. Curbside or a flat pad area near the driveway entrance are the easiest spots for the truck to place a full load.

Answer

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

Rock is the better choice near downspouts since it will not float or wash away like mulch does during heavy runoff, and it does not need to be replaced every year or two. Mulch is better where you have plants that benefit from the organic matter it adds as it breaks down, so many customers use rock right at the downspout and mulch further out in the bed.
