Landscape rock is sold by the cubic yard, and one yard covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install depth for most Jericho beds. If you want a slightly deeper 3 inch layer for better weed suppression along a fence line or foundation, plan for closer to 108 square feet per yard. Measure your bed's length and width first, then decide on depth based on how much foot traffic or erosion the area sees.

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 beds in Jericho get installed over a woven landscape fabric, which keeps the stone from sinking into the sandy loam beneath it over time. Steel or aluminum edging holds a clean line where rock meets lawn, especially useful near driveways where stone tends to migrate onto pavement. If any part of the bed borders planting beds that still need organic matter, a strip of mulch on that side works better than trying to make rock do double duty.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Jericho's sandy loam, skip skimping on the fabric layer underneath your rock. Sandy soils let weed roots push through thin or overlapped fabric faster than clay does, so use a heavier woven fabric and overlap seams by at least six inches. This single step is the difference between a rock bed that stays clean for a decade and one that needs hand weeding by the third summer.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see in this area is installing rock right up against foundation brick with no gap. Leave a couple inches of clearance and slope the bed slightly away from the house so rain does not pool against the foundation, especially important given how much of Jericho sits on well drained but still slightly low lying terrain near 197 feet elevation.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because rock is a one time install rather than an annual refresh like mulch, it pays to order slightly more than the calculator suggests, maybe 5 to 10 percent extra, so you have leftover stone for future touch ups without ordering a whole new delivery. Leftover rock stores fine in a covered area and never degrades sitting in a pile.

Decorative Stone in Jericho

Jericho's sandy loam drains fast already, so rock over landscape fabric does not fight standing water the way it might in heavier clay soils elsewhere on Long Island. With a growing zone of 7b and a first frost typically landing around November 17, homeowners here have a solid stretch from spring thaw through mid fall to get rock beds installed before the ground gets difficult to work. It shows up often around foundations and downspouts on the older colonial style homes in this area, where owners want a permanent, no refresh solution instead of another mulch order every year.

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 Jericho's soil type?

Yes, sandy loam drains well already, so rock beds installed over fabric do not trap water the way they might in heavier soil. The soil underneath stays workable if you ever need to remove or shift the rock later, and the natural drainage in this area reduces the risk of the stone shifting or settling unevenly over time.

Answer

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

At a standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 300 square foot bed needs just under 2 cubic yards. If you want a deeper 3 inch layer for better coverage and weed suppression, plan closer to 2.75 cubic yards for the same area.

Answer

What time of year should I install rock in Jericho?

Anytime between last frost around April 15 and first frost around November 17 works well, since the ground is workable and fabric adhesive sets properly in that range. Many homeowners here install in spring or early fall when temperatures are milder and there is less risk of rushing the job before a hard freeze.

Answer

Can the delivery truck reach my backyard or does it have to stay in the driveway?

Delivery trucks place material at the driveway or another accessible spot on the property, they generally cannot drive across lawns or through narrow side yards. If your project is in a backyard, plan on wheelbarrowing the rock from the drop point, and let us know the access situation when you schedule so the driver knows what to expect.

Answer

Is landscape rock a better choice than mulch for my front bed?

It depends on what the bed needs. Rock is a one time install that lasts many years without feeding the soil, which suits foundation lines and low maintenance areas, while mulch breaks down and adds organic matter, which plants that want richer soil actually benefit from. Many Jericho yards use rock near the house and mulch farther out in planting beds.
