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.

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 the bed length and width, decide whether you want 2 inches for a light refresh look or 3 inches for better weed suppression, then order by the yard rather than guessing with bags. Most Jonesboro front beds run somewhere between 2 and 5 cubic yards depending on how much of the yard 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.

Landscape fabric underneath is what turns this into a true decade-long install rather than a bed that grows grass through it within a year. A steel or aluminum edging strip keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn, especially useful on the sloped yards common around Jonesboro's older neighborhoods. If you're mixing rock with planting beds, keep organic mulch in the root zones and save the rock for the open groundcover areas.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap seams by at least 6 inches. In Jonesboro's silt loam, skipping fabric means the rock slowly works its way into the soil over a season or two as the ground shifts through wet and dry cycles, and then you're picking stone out of mud instead of maintaining a clean bed.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake locally is installing rock right up against foundation plantings that want compost or organic matter. Rock doesn't feed soil the way mulch does, so anything planted directly into it will struggle over a few zone 7b growing seasons. Keep rock for pure groundcover zones and use mulch or amended soil where you actually want things to grow.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because rock is a one time install rather than an annual refresh like mulch, it's worth ordering a slightly deeper 3 inch layer up front instead of the minimum 2 inches. The extra yardage costs less over time than mulch you'd otherwise be replacing every year, and it holds its look through Jonesboro's freeze-thaw swings between the October and April frost dates.

Decorative Stone in Jonesboro

Jonesboro sits on silt loam that holds water and can stay soggy through the wet stretches between March and May, which is exactly where rock beats organic mulch for drainage-sensitive spots. Around foundations and downspouts, where silt loam tends to puddle before it drains, a rock bed keeps water moving away from the house instead of soaking into bark mulch. It also holds up through zone 7b summers without breaking down, so beds near Craighead Forest Park style plantings keep their shape without a mid-season refresh. The tradeoff is it traps oak and sweetgum leaves in fall, so plan on blowing beds clear before winter.

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 stay put in Jonesboro's clay-heavy soil areas?

Yes, as long as it's installed over fabric and edged properly. The silt loam common around Jonesboro drains slower than sandy soil, so without fabric the rock can settle into the ground over a couple of seasons. With fabric and a steel edge, it stays put through normal rain and freeze-thaw cycles for many years.

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 2 cubic yards. If you want 3 inches for better weed control, plan closer to 3 cubic yards. Always round up slightly since a shortfall means a second delivery.

Answer

When is the best time of year to install rock in Jonesboro?

Late spring after the April 15 last frost or early fall before the October 31 first frost both work well, since the ground isn't frozen or overly saturated. Avoid installing right after heavy spring rain when silt loam beds are still soft, since foot traffic can compact the soil unevenly under the fabric.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock and do I need to be home?

You choose the drop spot when you schedule at checkout, typically a driveway or curb area the truck can reach directly. Someone doesn't need to be present, but the area should be clear and accessible, and keep in mind loaded rock is heavy so avoid soft ground or grass you care about.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for beds near my downspouts?

Rock is generally the better choice around downspouts since it won't float or wash away like mulch can during heavy runoff, and it won't break down from constant moisture exposure. Just make sure there's fabric underneath so the rock doesn't sink into the wet silt loam over time.
