One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at the standard 2 inch install depth. If you want a deeper 3 inch bed for better weed suppression, figure closer to 108 square feet per yard. Measure your bed's length and width first, then decide on depth before ordering so you are not short a yard on delivery day.

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.

I recently ordered from mulch mound and was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of the experience. The entire process, from placing the order to delivery was seamless and efficient. The mulch arrived exactly on time, and the quality exceeded my expectations. The color was rich and consistent, and I received more than enough to complete my project with proper coverage and packing.

Customer service was equally outstanding. Communication was clear, and the team was responsive and professional throughout. It’s rare to find a company that delivers both a high-quality product and excellent service, but mulch mound did just that.

Highly recommended, and I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again.

Landscape fabric goes down first and is what actually makes rock a decade long solution instead of a weed magnet by next summer. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the stone from migrating into the lawn, especially on beds that slope toward the street. A lot of Madisonville customers pair rock along the foundation with mulch in the planting beds further out, since rock does not feed the soil the way organic mulch does.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Lay landscape fabric before the rock goes down, not after, and overlap seams by at least six inches. In Madisonville's silt loam, skipping fabric means the rock slowly works itself into the soil over a season or two, and you end up hand picking stone out of mud every spring. Fabric is what turns this from a yearly chore into a true one time install that holds its look for a decade or more.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see locally is spreading rock right up against tree trunks or perennial beds where organic matter matters. Rock traps fallen leaves instead of breaking them down, so anything that wants a feed from decomposing mulch will struggle. Keep rock to foundation lines, downspout aprons, and low maintenance front yard strips, and save the organic mulch for planting beds that need nutrients.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order slightly more than your calculated yardage, since uneven ground and edging depth almost always eat into your coverage. It costs less to have a little extra on hand for touch ups later than to schedule a second delivery for half a yard. Extra rock also comes in handy for filling in low spots near downspouts where erosion tends to thin the bed out over time.

Decorative Stone in Madisonville

Madisonville's silt loam soil compacts and holds water after the spring rains that run through mid April, which is exactly the kind of ground that turns mulch beds into mud and weed patches. Rock does not break down or wash into that soil, so it stays clean along foundations and downspouts even after a wet week. With zone 7a winters bringing freeze and thaw cycles into the new year, a fabric base under the rock keeps it from settling or heaving. It is a common choice around here for front yard beds that need to look sharp without babysitting.

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

Answer

Does landscape rock work well with Madisonville's clay heavy soil?

Madisonville's soil is predominantly silt loam, which holds water more than sandy soil but drains better than heavy clay. Rock sits fine on top of it as long as you use landscape fabric as a barrier, since without it the rock can slowly sink and mix into the soil over a few wet seasons. Fabric plus rock is the standard setup we see hold up best here.

Answer

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

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 200 square foot bed needs a little over 1.2 cubic yards. Most people round up to 1.5 yards to account for uneven ground and edging. Going to 3 inches deep would push that closer to 2 yards for the same bed.

Answer

When is the best time to install landscape rock before Kentucky winter sets in?

Fall works well here since the ground is still workable before the first frost around October 20, and getting rock down before winter means it is settled and stable through the freeze and thaw cycles that follow. Spring installs after the last frost in mid April also work fine, just avoid working the soil while it is still saturated from spring rain.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock at my house?

We drop the load as close to your project area as the truck can safely and legally get, usually a driveway or curbside spot. Because rock is dense and heavy, it is worth clearing a direct path from the drop point to your bed ahead of time so you are not moving it further than necessary by wheelbarrow.

Answer

Should I use rock or mulch around my foundation in Madisonville?

Rock is the better call right against the foundation since it does not hold moisture against the house the way mulch can, and it will not need refreshing every year. Mulch still makes sense further out in planting beds where you want the soil fed as it breaks down. A lot of local yards use both, rock tight to the house and mulch in the beds beyond it.
