One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install for most beds and groundcover areas. If you want more coverage and less rock showing through over time, plan for 3 inches, which drops coverage to around 108 square feet per yard. Measure your bed in square feet first, then divide by the coverage number for your chosen depth.

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes rock a decade-long install instead of a weed bed, so it's worth putting down before delivery day. Edging material keeps it from migrating into the lawn, especially useful in Jacksonville's sandy soil where borders shift more than in clay. Some customers pair rock zones with mulch beds nearby for planted areas that still need organic matter.
Service area
In Jacksonville's sandy soil, skip skipping the fabric. Rock laid directly on sand will slowly sink and mix into the ground over a season or two, especially after heavy coastal rain events. A woven fabric barrier keeps the rock riding on top where it belongs and stops sand from working its way up through the stone. It costs an extra step now but saves you from topping off a settled bed in a year.
Rock traps leaves and pine needles instead of breaking them down, which is worth knowing before you install near oak or pine cover common around Jacksonville lots. Plan on blowing or raking debris off the surface a few times a year, especially in fall before first frost around November 10. Left alone, trapped organic matter breaks down into a thin soil layer that eventually grows weeds anyway.
Rock is a one time material cost compared to mulch you refresh annually, so it pencils out over several seasons even though the upfront yardage looks similar in price per unit. Order it once, install it right over fabric, and you're not scheduling another delivery next spring. It pairs well with mulch in planted beds, saving rock for the no-plant zones like foundations and downspout aprons where nothing needs feeding anyway.
Jacksonville's sandy soil drains fast, which sounds like a plus until you realize mulch and lighter organic material wash and blow away in the wind off the coast. Rock does not have that problem. Laid over fabric, it stays where you put it through nor'easters and the wet season alike, which matters more here than in inland Carolina towns. It's a strong pick around Lejeune Memorial Gardens style plantings where you want a clean, permanent edge rather than something you're topping off every spring.
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 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.
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.
