About this landscape rock

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

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, or less if you go to 3 inches for heavier foundation runs. Measure your bed's length and width, decide your depth based on how much drainage relief you need against Lebanon's till soil, then order in full cubic yard increments since this is a bulk delivered product. Most single-bed projects here run 2 to 4 yards.

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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric underneath is not optional here, it's what keeps this a decade-long install instead of a rock garden full of weeds by year two. Pair it with edging to hold the line where rock meets lawn, and keep a few bags of topsoil on hand for the planting pockets you'll want to leave for anything that actually needs organic matter.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Lebanon, get your rock down before the ground starts locking up in late September. Once frost works into glacial till, spreading and leveling gets a lot harder, and fabric doesn't seat properly against frozen lumps. Aim to finish install by mid-September so the bed has settled before your first frost around October 1, which keeps rock from shifting once winter freeze-thaw cycles start working the ground underneath it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake here is skipping fabric to save a step, then dealing with rock sinking into till soil within two seasons as fines migrate up through gaps. Fabric also stops leaves from decomposing into the rock bed, which matters in a town with as much fall leaf drop as Lebanon has. Blow or rake leaves off the rock in November before they mat down and start feeding weed seed underneath.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock pairs well with a narrower mulch strip left around perennials or shrubs that actually want organic matter, since rock alone starves root zones of nutrients. Order slightly over your calculated yardage rather than under, since a partial yard delivery later costs more in trips than a bit of extra rock does now, and leftover rock keeps indefinitely for a future path or border.

Decorative Stone in Lebanon

Lebanon's glacial till soil drains unevenly, and that means water tends to pool against foundations before freezing hard between October and April. Rock placed at a proper depth over fabric sheds that water instead of holding it against your sills the way mulch does. Around the Opera House district and in the older neighborhoods with tight foundation plantings, rock also survives the freeze-thaw heaving that cracks up looser organic mulch beds. It is a solid choice for anyone tired of re-edging beds every spring after frost lift.

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 help with drainage issues near my foundation in Lebanon?

Yes, rock sheds water better than mulch, which matters given how unevenly glacial till drains around here. Set at 2 to 3 inches over fabric, it keeps water moving away from your foundation instead of holding moisture against it through freeze-thaw cycles each winter.

Answer

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

At 2 inches deep, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs a little over 1.2 yards, round up to 1.5 to be safe. Going to 3 inches for extra drainage would need closer to 2 yards for the same area.

Answer

What time of year should I install rock before winter hits?

Aim to finish before late September so the bed settles ahead of Lebanon's typical October 1 first frost. Installing into frozen or partially frozen till soil makes leveling difficult and fabric won't seat right against lumpy, hard ground.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock on my property?

The load gets dumped in one accessible spot, usually a driveway or curbside area, and you spread it from there. Make sure there's clear truck access, especially if your property has a narrow driveway or a slope, and clear the spot before your scheduled date.

Answer

Is rock or mulch a better choice for my Lebanon front yard?

Rock is the better call for permanent, low-maintenance coverage like foundation beds or downspout areas, since it's a one time install rather than an annual refresh. Mulch still wins for planting beds where shrubs and perennials need organic matter feeding the soil, so many yards here end up using both.
