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 by width, decide on 2 versus 3 inches depending on how much you want the stone to read as solid coverage, and order in full or half yard increments rather than guessing low. Most LA front yards run half a yard to two yards depending on lot size.

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 decade-long install instead of a weed patch in two years, so lay it before the rock goes down. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the stone from migrating onto walkways and driveways, which matters more here where beds often sit right against hardscape. If any part of the yard still wants organic matter for planting beds, keep that area mulched separately since rock and root health do not mix well long term.
Service area
Lay landscape fabric before the rock, not after, and overlap seams by at least six inches since LA's clay loam expands and contracts enough with our wet winter months to open gaps in a fabric layer over time. Skipping fabric means weeds punch through the rock within a season, and once that happens you are hand pulling weeds out of a rock bed instead of just cutting through fabric, which is a much worse afternoon.
The most common mistake in LA yards is piling rock too deep against stucco or foundation walls, which traps moisture against the wall base during our rainy months and can stain or degrade stucco over years. Keep at least a couple inches of clearance between the rock line and any exterior wall, and slope the bed slightly away from the foundation rather than flat.
If your yard has both a foundation bed and a planting bed, order rock for the foundation and dry zones only, and keep mulch where you actually want plants to thrive, since clay loam plus rock plus no organic input over years leaves soil harder and less workable if you ever want to plant there again. Mixing both materials on one delivery is common and keeps costs efficient.
LA's clay loam sheds water fast on the surface then holds it below, which is exactly the kind of soil where organic mulch mats down and rots out in a season. Rock does not care. In zone 10b's long dry stretch and short, sometimes intense winter rains, screened stone stays put over fabric, resists UV fade, and does not need refreshing every year like bark does. It is a common choice around foundations and downspouts here because it will not wick moisture into stucco or slab edges the way wood mulch can. Around Griffith Park adjacent neighborhoods with steep, dry slopes, it also holds a bed shape better than loose mulch during a wind event.
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.
