At a 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. Measure your bed's length and width, decide if you want closer to 2 or 3 inches, and order in full cubic yards since this is a one time install you want to get right the first time. Most Hudson front yard beds run somewhere between 2 and 5 cubic yards depending on how much of the property faces the street.

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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade-long install instead of a weed patch by August, so budget for that if you have not already got it down. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn, especially useful on the sloped lots common around Hudson's older neighborhoods. If you have beds close to plantings that want organic matter, consider mulch there instead and save the rock for foundation lines and downspout areas.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap seams by at least six inches. In Hudson's silt loam, skipping fabric means the rock slowly works itself into the soil over a couple wet seasons and you end up with a muddy, rock studded mess instead of a clean bed. Fabric is what turns this from an annual chore into the one time install it is supposed to be.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake is piling rock right up against tree trunks or shrub bases. It holds moisture against bark, which invites rot, and it blocks the little bit of organic litter those plants actually want. Keep a few inches of clearance around any live stems and let mulch handle those spots instead if the bed is mixed.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your project spans a large front yard, consider running rock only where drainage or foot traffic is a real issue, like along downspouts and walkways, and using mulch or groundcover elsewhere. It cuts down on total cubic yards needed and keeps some organic matter feeding the soil where your plants actually benefit from it.

Decorative Stone in Hudson

Hudson's silt loam holds moisture and grows weeds fast once the ground warms, which is exactly the kind of bed where landscape rock earns its keep over fabric. With a first frost around October 15 and a last frost near May 5, you get a decent window each spring to install before the growing season really kicks in. Around downspouts and foundations here, where snowmelt and spring rain move a lot of water, rock stands up better than mulch that just floats or washes. It will not feed the soil the way organic mulch does, so keep it away from beds where you actually want plants rooting into that loam.

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 Hudson's clay-heavy silt loam soil?

Yes, as long as it goes over fabric rather than directly on the soil. Silt loam holds water, and rock without a barrier will slowly sink and mix into the mud over a season or two. With fabric underneath, drainage improves at the surface and the rock stays put through Hudson's wetter months.

Answer

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

One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth. A standard 10 by 20 foot bed, 200 square feet, would need a little over 1 cubic yard at 2 inches or closer to 2 yards if you go to 3 inches. Measure your actual bed and round up.

Answer

When is the best time to install landscape rock in Hudson?

Late spring after the last frost around May 5, or fall before October 15, both work well since the ground is workable and not frozen. Avoid installing right after heavy rain when the silt loam is saturated, since it makes fabric anchoring and grading harder than it needs to be.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock?

The load is dropped at a hard, accessible surface like your driveway, close to where you specify at checkout. Make sure there is a clear path for a full size delivery truck, especially if your property is on one of Hudson's older streets with tighter turns or overhead trees.

Answer

Should I use landscape rock or mulch around my downspouts?

Rock is the better call for downspouts and drainage areas since it does not float or wash away in heavy rain the way mulch can. It also will not need refreshing every year. Save mulch for planting beds where you want the soil to keep getting fed with organic matter over time.
