At the standard 2 inch install depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a typical 300 square foot bed runs close to 2 cubic yards. If you want the deeper 3 inch depth for better weed suppression on a slope or foundation line, plan on roughly a third more material. Measure length by width for each bed, add them up, and work from there since this is sold and delivered by the cubic yard.

I contacted Mulch Mound for #57 river rocks and it was easy and fast to get a delivery right before the holiday weekend. Stone was delivered as promised and place exactly where I asked. Excellent service! I will be ordering mulch next!
Complete Your Outdoor Project
Landscape fabric underneath is what actually makes this a one time install instead of a rock garden full of weeds by June. Edging, whether steel or stone, keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn on sloped Lynchburg lots. If any planting beds border the rock, a strip of mulch there gives those plants the organic matter the rock never will.

Areas we deliver landscape rock in Lynchburg, Virginia
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap the seams by at least six inches. In Lynchburg's clay soil, skipping fabric means the rock slowly works itself into the mud over a couple of wet winters, and by year three you are pulling rock and clay apart with a rake instead of enjoying a clean bed.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
The biggest mistake we see is rock installed right up against downspout discharge points without a splash block or gravel apron first. The force of runoff during a heavy Virginia thunderstorm displaces rock and carves a channel underneath the fabric, undoing the whole point of a permanent groundcover.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order rock and mulch together if your project has both, since one delivery for the whole yard beats scheduling two trucks. Keep rock for the foundation lines and low maintenance stretches, save mulch for planting beds where you actually want organic matter breaking down into that clay soil over time.
Decorative Stone in Lynchburg
Lynchburg's clay soil holds water long after a storm rolls off the hills, and that is exactly the kind of ground where rock groundcover earns its keep, it does not compact or wash out the way loose mulch can on a slope. A lot of the older neighborhoods around the Hill City have grade changes and downspout runoff that turns beds soggy, rock handles that better than anything organic. With a growing season that runs mid April to mid October here, you are not fighting weeds through rock nearly as much as you would with bark. It just sits there and does its job through the freeze and thaw around zone 7a winters.
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.
