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

Easy to order, great service, and great product. We enjoy the final look of a very neglected beds we inherited!

At a standard 2 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet, so a typical 300 square foot bed runs close to 2 cubic yards. Going to 3 inches deep, which we recommend around downspouts or high runoff areas common in Kings Park yards, will use closer to a third more material. Measure your bed in square feet first, then decide on depth based on how much drainage pressure that spot 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.

I recently ordered from mulch mound and was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of the experience. The entire process, from placing the order to delivery was seamless and efficient. The mulch arrived exactly on time, and the quality exceeded my expectations. The color was rich and consistent, and I received more than enough to complete my project with proper coverage and packing.

Customer service was equally outstanding. Communication was clear, and the team was responsive and professional throughout. It’s rare to find a company that delivers both a high-quality product and excellent service, but mulch mound did just that.

Highly recommended, and I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscaping fabric underneath is what turns this from a five year fix into a decade long groundcover, so it is worth pairing on any new bed. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn, especially useful on sloped Kings Park lots near the water. If you have planting beds that need organic matter instead, keep rock to the foundation and hardscape zones and use mulch where things are actually growing.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap seams by at least six inches. In Kings Park's sandy loam, skipping fabric means rock slowly works its way into the soil over a couple seasons, and weeds find their way up through the gaps anyway. Pin the fabric every few feet so it does not shift when you're spreading the first few wheelbarrow loads on top of it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock does not feed soil and it traps fallen leaves instead of letting them break down, so plan on blowing or raking beds clear each fall before Kings Park's late October frost sets in. Leaves left to mat down over winter trap moisture against the rock and can stain lighter colored stone by spring.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock is a one time cost compared to mulch you replace annually, so factor that into how you compare per yard pricing between materials. It pairs well with mulch elsewhere on the same property, rock tight against the foundation and downspouts, mulch in the actual planting beds where soil health matters more than permanence.

Decorative Stone in Kings Park

Kings Park's sandy loam drains fast already, so rock over fabric does not create the standing water problems you would see on heavier clay soils. That same sandy base means rock stays put well once bedded in, without the settling or sinking some other regions deal with. With zone 7b winters and a first frost around Oct 27, this material shrugs off freeze thaw cycles that break down other groundcovers over time. It works especially well against foundations and around downspouts where the North Shore's wetter fall months send water directly at the house.

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 hold up through a Kings Park winter?

Yes, landscape rock is inert stone so it does not break down from freeze thaw cycles the way mulch does. Zone 7b winters with a last frost around April 7 will not affect the material itself, though you may see minor shifting at bed edges if the ground heaves, which edging helps prevent.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 400 square foot bed?

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 400 square foot bed needs roughly 2.5 cubic yards. If you are going 3 inches deep around a foundation or downspout area, plan closer to 3.5 to 4 cubic yards to account for the added depth.

Answer

When is the best time to install rock in Kings Park?

Spring after the last frost in early April or fall before the October frost are both solid windows, since the ground is workable and not frozen. Avoid installing right before a heavy rain stretch, since fresh fabric and loose rock settle better in dry conditions.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock?

You choose the drop spot at checkout, typically a driveway or curb location close to your project area. Make sure there is clear overhead access for the truck and enough width for the load, since it arrives all at once rather than in bags.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for my front bed?

If the bed is mostly foundation, walkway border, or an area with plants that do not need much organic matter, rock makes sense as a one time install. If you are growing shrubs, perennials, or anything that benefits from decomposing organic material feeding the sandy loam soil here, mulch is the better long term choice for plant health.
