One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install depth for most beds. If you want a slightly heavier 3 inch layer for better weed suppression, plan on closer to 110 square feet per yard. Measure your bed square footage first, then work backward from there since this is sold and delivered by the cubic yard.

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.

I couldn't be happier with the speed and quality of the mulch delivery service of Mulch Mound. Every detail from ordering, to communication with on time delivery, to perfect product placement was amazing. I needed more and I got it within 2 hours! I'm never doing this with bags again.

Most rock installs go down over landscape fabric, so factor that into your project if you have not already got it down. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn or gravel walkways, which matters more here where sandy soil shifts underfoot. If you have planting pockets within the rock bed, a bag of compost for those specific spots helps since the rock itself won't feed the soil.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, since pinning fabric under existing stone is a miserable job. In Las Cruces sandy soil, use extra fabric staples along bed edges because loose soil doesn't hold pins as well as denser clay does. Overlap fabric seams by at least six inches so wind driven sand doesn't work its way underneath and create bare patches over time.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see locally is skipping edging entirely. Without a hard border, rock migrates onto walkways and into turf within a season, especially with monsoon runoff pushing it around during summer storms. A steel or paver edge installed at the same time as the rock saves you from re-raking gravel back into the bed every few months.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Since this is a one time install rather than an annual refresh like mulch, it pays to get the depth right the first time. Going with the full 3 inches instead of 2 costs more rock upfront but means less fabric showing through and less need to ever add more. Pair it with a coarser decorative boulder or two at bed corners to break up a flat rock field without adding cost per square foot.

Decorative Stone in Las Cruces

Sandy loam drains fast here, which is actually a plus for rock beds since you are not fighting standing water under the stone. With summer heat pushing soil temps up fast and wind common across the valley, rock stays put where mulch shifts or fades in the sun. A lot of Las Cruces yards use rock as the entire front bed treatment rather than mulch, since it matches the desert palette and needs almost no seasonal attention. Around downspouts and foundation lines it also handles the occasional monsoon runoff better than organic material does.

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 Las Cruces wind?

Yes, once installed over fabric with a solid edge border, landscape rock is heavy enough to resist the wind we get here, unlike bark mulch which blows around easily. The main risk is loose rock near open edges without a border, so edging is worth the extra step in this climate.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 500 square foot bed?

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 500 square foot bed needs roughly 3 cubic yards. If you want a deeper 3 inch layer for better coverage over fabric seams, plan closer to 4.5 cubic yards for the same area.

Answer

What time of year should I install landscape rock here?

Anytime works since rock doesn't depend on planting windows, but many people time it for early spring before the last frost around March 28 or fall after the first frost in November, when it's more comfortable to be out working the beds. Summer install is fine too, just plan around midday heat.

Answer

Where will the rock be placed on delivery day?

We drop the load at a driveway, curb, or other accessible spot you specify when scheduling. Make sure there's clear truck access and enough room for the pile, since rock is dense and heavier per yard than mulch, so plan your wheelbarrow path to the bed ahead of time.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for my front bed?

Rock is a one time install that lasts many years without refreshing, which suits Las Cruces yards going for a low-water desert look. Mulch feeds the soil and suits beds with heavier planting, but needs replacing periodically. If your bed is mostly hardscape or foundation-adjacent, rock tends to be the lower-maintenance choice long term.
