Jamestown Landscape Rock Delivery

About this landscape rock

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

Online ordering was really simple and I liked the transparent pricing.

One cubic yard of rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, or a bit less if you go to 3 inches for better weed suppression and coverage over fabric. Measure your bed's length times width, then decide on depth based on how much foot traffic or erosion you're dealing with. Most Jamestown front yard beds run 3 to 6 cubic yards depending on how much of the lot is in beds versus lawn.

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.

I contacted Mulch Mound for #57 river rocks and it was easy and fast to get a delivery right before the holiday weekend. Stone was delivered as promised and place exactly where I asked. Excellent service! I will be ordering mulch next!

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade long install instead of a five year one, so plan for it before the rock arrives. Edging keeps the stone from migrating into the lawn during snowmelt, and a few well placed foundation plants in pockets cut into the rock give the bed some life without fighting the drainage benefit.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap seams by at least 6 inches since Jamestown's freeze thaw cycles heave loose fabric edges over a winter or two. Skipping fabric means silt loam works up through the stone within a couple seasons, turning your clean rock bed into a muddy mess that's harder to fix than it would have been to prevent.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock traps falling leaves instead of breaking them down, and Jamestown's tree cover means autumn leaf litter will collect fast. Plan on blowing or raking beds clear a couple times each fall, especially before the first snow, or the leaf mat will smother anything planted nearby and hold moisture against your foundation through the winter.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you're mixing rock with mulched beds elsewhere on the property, order them as separate deliveries rather than trying to estimate one combined load, since rock and mulch settle and cover very differently. Rock is a one time cost that holds its footprint for years, so it's worth sizing the order right the first time instead of topping off later.

Decorative Stone in Jamestown

Jamestown sits on silt loam that holds water longer than sandy soil, which means bare beds near your foundation or downspouts can stay soggy well into spring. A layer of landscape rock over fabric breaks that cycle and keeps splash back off siding through our wet stretches between the October and May frost dates. Around Chautauqua Lake, a lot of yards deal with runoff and slope, and rock holds a bank or a downspout apron better than mulch that floats away. It is a one time install that outlasts the freeze thaw cycles this zone 6a climate puts it through.

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

Answer

Will landscape rock work against my foundation with Jamestown's soil?

Yes, rock is actually a good match for foundations here. Silt loam holds moisture, and rock over fabric keeps splash back and standing water off your siding better than mulch does. Just make sure grading slopes away from the house before the rock goes down, since rock won't fix a drainage problem on its own.

Answer

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

At a 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs a bit over 1.2 cubic yards. Most people round up to 1.5 to account for uneven ground or a slightly deeper edge near the border.

Answer

Is there a bad time of year to install landscape rock in Jamestown?

Late fall right before the October frost isn't ideal since the ground can be too wet from seasonal rain to grade properly. Spring after the last frost in May or a dry stretch in summer gives you firmer ground to work with and drier fabric installation.

Answer

Where will the rock be placed on delivery day?

We drop the load wherever you specify, usually the driveway or as close to the work area as the truck can reach. Have a clear path ready and let us know if narrow access or a slope on your lot needs a specific placement spot.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for beds around Chautauqua Lake properties?

Rock holds up better on sloped lots near the lake where erosion and runoff are a concern, since it won't wash out like mulch can. Mulch is better if you want organic matter feeding the soil for plantings, so a lot of lakefront yards use rock for slopes and mulch for planting beds.
