About this landscape rock

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

Delivery was smooth and on time!
The triple shredded mulch was great quality and just what we were looking for.

At a 2 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet, so a typical 100 square foot foundation strip needs a bit under a full yard. For a 3 inch depth, figure closer to 110 square feet per yard. Measure your bed length and width first, then order by the cubic yard rather than guessing bags.

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 turns this from a five year fix into a decade long groundcover, so it is worth laying before the rock goes down. Steel or aluminum edging keeps it from migrating into the lawn or flower beds over time. Many Huntington customers pair rock along the foundation with mulch in the planting beds further out, since the plants there actually want the organic matter rock cannot provide.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Huntington's silt loam, water tends to sheet across yards instead of soaking in fast, so grade your rock beds with a slight slope away from the foundation before you lay fabric. A flat or inward-sloping bed will pond after the region's heavier spring storms, pushing moisture right back against your siding, which defeats the entire reason people install rock there in the first place.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake with rock is skipping fabric to save a step, then fighting weeds pushing through within a season. Lay commercial grade fabric, overlap seams by several inches, and pin it before rock goes down. Also plan on blowing or raking leaves out of rock beds each fall, since the stone holds them against the soil surface instead of letting them settle in like mulch would.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Since this is a one time install rather than an annual refresh, it pays to size the order right the first time and choose a stone you will not tire of, since replacing it later means hauling out the old load. Pairing rock near the house with mulch further out in planting beds lets you use less material overall and puts organic matter only where plants actually benefit from it.

Decorative Stone in Huntington

Huntington's silt loam drains slower than sandy soil, which means beds against the house or under gutters stay damp longer after storms rolling off the hills around Ritter Park. Organic mulch in those spots breaks down fast and invites rot against siding. Rock does not care about the moisture, it just sits there and sheds water, which is exactly why it shows up so often around foundations and downspouts in this city. It will trap fall leaves though, so keep it away from beds where you want soil life to build.

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 Huntington's clay-heavy soil?

Yes, and it actually helps. Huntington's silt loam drains slowly, so rock over fabric keeps water moving away from foundations instead of holding moisture like mulch does. It is a common choice here specifically for beds against the house and around downspouts where standing water is the concern.

Answer

How many cubic yards of rock do I need for a 200 square foot bed?

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs roughly 1.25 cubic yards. If you want a deeper 3 inch layer for better coverage, plan closer to 1.8 cubic yards for the same area.

Answer

What time of year should I install landscape rock in Huntington?

Anytime the ground is not frozen or saturated works, so outside of the deep winter stretch between your last frost around April 15 and first frost around October 28 is easiest. Since this is a one time install, there is no seasonal rush, just avoid installing right after a heavy rain when the silt loam base is soft.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock at my house?

We place the load at the driveway, curb, or other accessible spot you specify when you schedule delivery at checkout. Make sure the path is clear and wide enough for a truck, and let us know if low branches or narrow access near your property could be an issue.

Answer

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

For beds with shrubs, perennials, or anything that benefits from organic matter breaking down into the soil, mulch is the better fit. Rock is better suited to foundation lines, downspout areas, and low-maintenance groundcover where you want a permanent, low-fuss surface rather than something that feeds the soil.
