Landscape rock covers about 162 square feet per cubic yard at a 2 inch depth, or roughly 108 square feet at 3 inches if you want more coverage and less risk of soil showing through. Measure your bed's length and width, decide 2 or 3 inches based on how much weed suppression you need, then order by the cubic yard rather than guessing bags. Most Long Branch front yard beds run 1 to 3 cubic yards depending on how much lawn is being converted.

We had a great experience today. This was our first time using Mulch Mound, and I found the price competitive and the online ordering very easy. We are impressed with the quality of the mulch, too! It is covering well - a great value!
Delivery was smooth and on time!
The triple shredded mulch was great quality and just what we were looking for.
Landscape fabric underneath is what actually makes this a one time install instead of a chore, so budget for it if you have not already. Steel or aluminum edging keeps rock from migrating into the lawn, especially useful with Long Branch's sandy loam where borders shift more than in heavier clay soil. Some customers pair rock beds with a run of mulch elsewhere on the property for plant beds that still need organic matter.
Service area
Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap seams by at least 6 inches. In Long Branch's sandy loam, skipping fabric means rock slowly works itself into the soil over a year or two and you end up topping off the bed sooner than you should. Pin the fabric edges down before spreading rock so wind off the shore does not lift it during installation.
The biggest mistake we see near the coast is treating rock beds like mulch beds and expecting them to feed the soil. They will not, and leaves that blow in off nearby trees just sit on top and need to be blown or raked out every fall, ideally before your Oct 27 first frost locks things in for winter.
If you are covering a large front yard conversion, mixing rock with a few larger accent stones or boulders breaks up the visual monotony without adding real cost, since those are often priced separately and used sparingly. It also reduces the tonnage of screened rock you need to order, which matters on a property where every yard delivered has to cross sandy soil to reach the bed.
Long Branch sits on sandy loam that already drains fast, so rock beds here rarely stay soggy, which makes rock a solid pick against foundations and downspouts where you want water moving away from the house. With zone 7b winters and a first frost around Oct 27, freeze thaw cycles do settle loose stone over a season or two, so a fabric base matters more here than in a milder zone. Salt air off the shore does not damage the stone itself, but it will show white mineral dust faster near the beach, something worth knowing before you pick a darker color.
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 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.
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.
