About this landscape rock

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

Ordered Dirt. Received Dirt. Would Buy Again.

At a 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the thinner end of that range. For a typical 200 square foot bed, plan on a little over a yard, and for larger foundation borders or full front yard coverage, order in full yard increments rather than guessing low. Measure length by width first, then match that to depth before you order.

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.

Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes rock a decade-long install instead of a weed bed, so it is worth doing right the first time. Steel or aluminum edging keeps rock from migrating into St. Augustine lawns during heavy runoff. If you have planting beds mixed into the same area, some homeowners pair rock in the dry zones with mulch closer to shrubs that actually want organic matter.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Laredo's clay, do not skip the fabric barrier under the rock, because clay holds moisture just long enough after our rare downpours to let weed seeds germinate through bare rock in a season. Lay the fabric flat, overlap seams by a few inches, and pin it before spreading rock, since a loose barrier lets rock sink into the clay over a year or two and defeats the purpose of a low maintenance bed.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Leaves off nearby mesquite or live oak trees will collect in landscape rock and are harder to rake out than they are from mulch, since the rock's texture grabs debris. Plan on blowing beds clear a few times a year rather than raking, and keep rock away from tight corners near AC units where leaf buildup traps moisture against stucco.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock is a one time cost that outlasts mulch by years, so it pencils out cheaper over a decade even though the upfront yardage costs more per load. If your yard has both sun-baked front beds and shadier planting areas near the house, order rock for the exposed zones and save mulch for beds where you actually want organic matter breaking down into that alkaline clay.

Decorative Stone in Laredo

Laredo's alkaline clay compacts hard in dry months and turns slick when the rare heavy rain hits, which makes bare dirt beds a mess either way. Rock solves that by capping the clay so it does not track into driveways or wash out near San Agustin Plaza style older homes with tight foundation gaps. In zone 9b heat, rock also does not bake and die like mulch fades or bark grays out. It is a common choice here for xeriscape style front yards that need to survive long stretches without rain and without upkeep.

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 work with Laredo's clay soil or should I amend it first?

You do not need to amend clay under rock, since rock sits on top of a fabric barrier rather than mixing into soil. The clay actually helps here because it drains slowly and keeps rock beds from settling unevenly the way sandy soil can. Just make sure grading slopes away from your foundation before you install.

Answer

How many cubic yards of rock do I need for a 300 square foot front yard bed?

At 2 inches deep, 300 square feet needs just under 2 cubic yards, since one yard covers about 162 square feet at that depth. At 3 inches for better coverage, plan closer to 2.75 yards. Round up slightly since bed edges and depth are never perfectly even.

Answer

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

Late fall through winter works well here, roughly between the first frost around December 5 and last frost near February 9, since the ground is workable and you are not fighting summer heat while spreading and leveling. It is also before spring rains, so fabric and edging have time to settle before any heavy weather.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock and do I need a clear path?

The load is dropped at your driveway or another spot you specify at checkout, typically needing about the space of one parking spot. Clear that area ahead of time and have a wheelbarrow path ready if the bed is far from where the truck can reach.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for a Laredo front yard?

Rock makes sense for foundation lines, downspout areas, and full sun beds where you want a one time install that survives heat without fading. Mulch still wins near shrubs and flower beds that benefit from organic matter breaking into the clay. Many Laredo yards use both, rock in the exposed zones and mulch closer to plantings.
