About this landscape rock

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

Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!

At a 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard of landscape rock covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. Measure your bed's length and width, decide if you want it tight at 2 inches or fuller at 3, and order in full cubic yards since this is a one time install you want to get right the first time. Most Lawton front beds run 1 to 3 yards depending on size.

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 makes this a decade-long install instead of a five-year one, so budget for it if you do not already have it down. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn, especially where Lawton yards slope toward the street. If any beds also need organic material for plantings, keep that separate from the rock zones since they serve different jobs.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock, not after, and overlap seams by at least 6 inches since Lawton wind will find any gap and blow soil up through it over time. Skip fabric only if you plan to rake and refresh occasionally, otherwise the rock will work itself down into the red clay within a couple of seasons and you will be fighting weeds through the stone instead of on top of it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see locally is installing rock right up against tree trunks or shrub bases. It holds heat against bark in the summer and can stress plants that want mulch's insulation instead. Leave a few inches of bare soil or mulch ring around any live plant, and reserve straight rock coverage for open beds, downspout aprons, and areas without root systems nearby.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Because this is a one time install, it is worth ordering slightly more than your calculated minimum, an extra half yard costs far less than a second delivery fee down the line. Rock also pairs well with steel edging bought in the same trip, since both are permanent fixtures you are unlikely to touch again for years, unlike mulch that gets refreshed annually.

Decorative Stone in Lawton

Lawton's red clay loam holds water at the surface longer than sandy soils do, which means organic mulch near the house can stay damp and invite rot against your foundation. Rock does not care, it sheds water and stays put through the summer heat and the occasional gully washer off the Wichitas. With growing zone 7b winters rarely freezing hard, there is no frost heave problem to worry about either. It is a common choice here for downspout aprons and low beds that do not need feeding.

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 well with Lawton's clay soil?

Yes, rock actually performs better than organic mulch on red clay loam because it does not hold surface moisture against your foundation or plant crowns. The clay's slow drainage is more of a concern for mulch than for stone, since rock just sheds water across the surface instead of soaking it in.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 200 square foot bed?

At a standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs roughly 1.25 cubic yards. Round up to 1.5 yards to account for uneven ground and give yourself a small buffer rather than running short mid job.

Answer

Is fall or spring better for installing rock in Lawton?

Either works since rock is not seasonal like planting, but many people here install after the last frost around April 7 when they are already out doing spring cleanup. Installing before the Oct 31 first frost also works well if you want beds settled before winter weather arrives.

Answer

Where will the truck place my rock delivery?

We place the load at your driveway or curb, wherever gives the truck safe access without crossing lawn or soft ground. Let us know at checkout if your access is tight, and make sure the drop area is clear before the scheduled delivery date.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for beds near Fort Sill area homes?

It depends on the bed, rock suits foundation lines, downspout aprons, and low maintenance open areas, while mulch suits beds with plants that benefit from organic matter breaking down into the soil. Many Lawton homeowners use both, rock near the house and mulch further out in planted beds.
