At the standard 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. Measure your bed length by width, decide if you want closer to 2 or 3 inches deep, and order in full cubic yards since this is a one time install, not something you top off yearly. Most front yard beds in Idaho Falls run half a yard to two yards depending on size.

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.

We have always spread our own mulch for the past 24 years. This was our first time with the Mulch Mound - things I liked: they have online ordering and provide a digital receipt which means you can remember how much you ordered (I always forget for the next year!), they were on time, they were able to deliver in 48 hours, they were generous with the portion (we got 9 yards and it felt like a FULL nine yards!), the driver was polite! We have ordered from reputable places, and there is always a little trash in the mulch. The mulch we recv'd from Mulch Mound had barely any... we were pleasant surprised!!! Color was great! Not to mention - the price was competitive and LOWER than other mulch places around. We will use again !! Highly recommend! Thanks Mulch Mound!

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade-long install instead of a rock garden full of weeds by July. Steel or aluminum edging keeps it from creeping into the lawn, especially useful where beds border the Greenbelt path or a sidewalk. If any part of the bed still needs plants that want real soil, keep those areas mulched separately since rock will not feed them.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Idaho Falls, lay fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap the seams by at least six inches. Our silt loam is fine grained enough that without fabric, rock slowly works itself into the soil over a few winters of freeze and thaw, and you end up topping it off years later. Pin the fabric edges under the rock itself rather than just staking it, since wind off the Snake River corridor can lift loose edges before the rock settles.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake locally is piling rock right up against stucco or siding without a gap. With our clay-heavy silt loam holding moisture near foundations, rock touching the wall keeps that dampness trapped against the building. Leave a couple inches of clearance and slope the bed slightly away from the house so water sheds outward instead of sitting against your foundation through spring runoff.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order slightly more rock than your bare minimum calculation if you are also filling in around downspout splash zones or a dry creek bed feature, both common uses here. It is far more efficient to place one full order than to schedule a second small delivery for an extra 50 square feet. Pairing rock with a few boulders or larger accent stone from the same load also saves you from sourcing that separately.

Decorative Stone in Idaho Falls

Idaho Falls silt loam holds water longer than sandy soil, which means organic mulches near the house can stay soggy and invite rot against foundations. Rock does not care, it drains and sheds water instead of absorbing it, which matters with our freeze thaw cycles running from early October frost into May. A lot of front yards here use rock beds along the Snake River Greenbelt side of properties where wind off the water can scatter lighter mulch. Once it is down over fabric it stays put through our winters without needing a spring refresh.

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 with Idaho Falls clay and silt soil, or will it just sink in over time?

It will sink in eventually without a barrier, since our silt loam is fine enough to let rock settle into it over a few winters. With landscape fabric underneath, it stays on the surface and functions as a decade-long groundcover instead. The fabric is the part that actually matters here, not the rock itself.

Answer

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

One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at 2 inches deep, so a 300 square foot bed runs close to 2 cubic yards at that depth. Go a bit deeper, closer to 3 inches, on sloped beds or areas near downspouts, which lowers coverage per yard and increases how much you need.

Answer

Is there a bad time of year to install rock in Idaho Falls?

Anytime the ground is not frozen works, but late spring after our last frost around May 8 gives you dry, workable soil for laying fabric properly. Installing in fall before the October frost also works well since the ground is still soft. Avoid installing on frozen or waterlogged ground since fabric will not seat evenly.

Answer

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

The truck drops the load in your driveway or the nearest spot it can safely access, you choose that location and schedule the delivery window at checkout. Make sure there is a clear path wide enough for a full size truck, and put down a tarp if the drop spot is on lawn or soft ground to avoid compaction.

Answer

How is landscape rock different from bark mulch for my beds here?

Rock is a one time install that lasts many years without refreshing, while bark breaks down and needs replacing every season or two. Rock does not feed the soil the way organic mulch does, so it is better suited to foundation beds and groundcover areas than beds with plants that want organic matter worked in around their roots.
