At the standard 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. A typical front foundation bed in a Jackson subdivision, say 10 by 20 feet, runs close to one and a quarter cubic yards at 2 inches. Measure your bed's square footage first, then decide between 2 inches for a lighter cover or 3 inches for better weed suppression.

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.

One of the easiest customer service experiences I've had in a long time! Mulch Mound made it so simple. After putting it off for a while, I looked at the weather and knew I needed to get to mulching ASAP before the rain came if I didn't want to wait another week. I put my order in for the next day online and they came right at 9 AM. The employee who dropped off the mulch did a great job, putting it right on the tarp I laid out, she even made sure none of it got on the yard and double checked the truck bed to make sure it all came out. The mulch was exactly what I needed and arrived right on time.

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

Most rock jobs in Jackson start with landscape fabric to block weeds and stop the stone from sinking into the sandy loam over time. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn during mowing season. If part of the yard also gets a mulched planting bed, ordering both in the same delivery window saves a second trip.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock, not after, and overlap the seams by at least 6 inches since Jackson's freeze thaw cycles through winter will work any gaps wider over a few seasons. Skipping fabric in sandy loam lets the rock slowly sink and mix with soil, and within a couple years you're pulling stone out of the dirt instead of raking leaves off the top.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see locally is installing rock too close to downspout discharge without a splash block or extended pipe. Sandy loam erodes fast under concentrated water flow, and rock alone won't stop a channel from forming, it'll just expose the fabric underneath and leave a bare trench by the second spring thaw.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock and mulch pair well on the same property, use rock in the high-traffic foundation zones and around downspouts where organic mulch would wash out, and save mulch for planting beds where shrubs and perennials benefit from the added organic matter as it breaks down. Ordering both in one delivery avoids a second trip charge.

Decorative Stone in Jackson

Jackson sits in zone 6a with sandy loam that already drains fast, so rock beds here rarely stay soggy the way they do in heavier clay soils. That makes rock a solid choice around downspouts and foundation lines where standing water is already less of a concern. The tradeoff is leaf litter, and with the maple and oak canopy common around Sparks Foundation County Park and older Jackson neighborhoods, rock beds near mature trees need a fall blowout before snow. Once it's down over fabric, it's not something you'll be redoing every spring like mulch.

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

How long does landscape rock actually last in Jackson winters?

Properly installed over fabric, landscape rock holds up for a decade or more without replacement, unlike mulch which needs refreshing most years. Jackson's freeze thaw cycles can shift stone slightly at the edges, so edging matters more here than in milder climates, but the rock itself doesn't break down or need topping off.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 300 square foot bed?

At 2 inches deep, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 300 square foot bed needs roughly 1.85 cubic yards, call it 2 yards to avoid running short. At 3 inches deep for better weed control, plan closer to 2.75 to 3 cubic yards for the same area.

Answer

What time of year should I install rock in Jackson?

Late spring after the May 1 last frost or early fall before Oct 8 gives you dry ground and easier fabric installation, since sandy loam works best when it's not saturated from snowmelt. Summer works too, but avoid installing right after heavy rain when the soil underneath is soft.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock, and do I need a clear driveway?

We drop the load at the curb, driveway, or another accessible spot you specify during checkout, so clear about 10 feet of space before delivery day. Rock is dense at 1.35 tons per cubic yard, so placing it close to your work area saves significant wheelbarrow time compared to a curbside-only drop.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for a Jackson front yard bed?

Rock makes sense for foundation lines, downspout areas, and low-maintenance beds where you want a one-time install that lasts years. Mulch is better around shrubs and perennials that benefit from organic matter breaking into the sandy loam over time. Many Jackson properties use both, rock near the house and mulch in planting beds further out.
