One cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install depth for foundation beds and groundcover areas. If you want a deeper 3 inch bed for heavier weed suppression, plan on roughly two thirds that coverage per yard. Measure your bed's length and width first, then decide on depth based on how much you want to suppress clay soil from pushing through.

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.

A yard is approximately 27 cubic feet. As a general guideline, one yard of material can cover an area of about 10 feet by 10 feet at a few inches deep.

A ton is 2,000 pounds of material. As a general guideline, one ton of rock covers roughly 100 square feet at 2 inches deep, depending on rock size and density.

One of the easiest customer service experiences I've had in a long time! Mulch Mound made it so simple. After putting it off for a while, I looked at the weather and knew I needed to get to mulching ASAP before the rain came if I didn't want to wait another week. I put my order in for the next day online and they came right at 9 AM. The employee who dropped off the mulch did a great job, putting it right on the tarp I laid out, she even made sure none of it got on the yard and double checked the truck bed to make sure it all came out. The mulch was exactly what I needed and arrived right on time.

We have always spread our own mulch for the past 24 years. This was our first time with the Mulch Mound - things I liked: they have online ordering and provide a digital receipt which means you can remember how much you ordered (I always forget for the next year!), they were on time, they were able to deliver in 48 hours, they were generous with the portion (we got 9 yards and it felt like a FULL nine yards!), the driver was polite! We have ordered from reputable places, and there is always a little trash in the mulch. The mulch we recv'd from Mulch Mound had barely any... we were pleasant surprised!!! Color was great! Not to mention - the price was competitive and LOWER than other mulch places around. We will use again !! Highly recommend! Thanks Mulch Mound!

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a decade long install instead of a weedy mess in two years, so plan on it if you have not already got it down. Edging, whether steel or stone, keeps the rock from migrating into your lawn or driveway over time. If parts of your bed border plants that want organic matter, consider keeping mulch there and reserving rock for foundation lines and downspout zones.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

In Marietta's clay soil, grade your bed with a slight slope away from the foundation before laying fabric, otherwise rock beds can hold standing water after storms instead of shedding it. A 1 to 2 percent slope is enough. Skipping this step is the most common reason rock beds around here end up with algae or mosquito pooling within the first summer, especially near downspouts that already dump concentrated water.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Expect to blow or rake leaves out of rock beds several times each fall, especially under the oaks common around Historic Marietta. Unlike mulch, rock does not break down leaf litter into the soil, so debris just sits on top and can mat down over winter if ignored. A leaf blower on a low setting once every couple weeks from October through frost keeps beds from smothering.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order slightly more than your calculated minimum since rock is a one time install and running short means a second delivery fee and a mismatched batch if your supplier's stone lot changes. Pairing rock zones near the foundation with mulched planting beds further out is a common Marietta layout, since it puts the low maintenance material where access is hardest and keeps organic mulch where plants actually benefit from it.

Decorative Stone in Marietta

Marietta's clay soil drains slowly, and after a hard rain off the Square, low beds and downspout areas can stay soggy for days. Landscape rock over fabric solves that by shedding water instead of holding it, which matters more here than in sandier parts of Georgia. It also does not need refreshing every spring like bark mulch, which is a real advantage given how many Historic Marietta properties have foundation beds that are hard to access every year. The tradeoff is that it will trap oak and pine leaves, so it works best in beds you are willing to blow off a few times a fall.

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 work with Marietta's clay soil or will it just sink in over time?

It will not sink if installed correctly. Lay landscape fabric between the clay and the rock and the stone stays on the surface indefinitely. Skipping the fabric is what causes rock to slowly work its way into clay soil over a few seasons, since clay shifts with moisture more than sandy soil does.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a typical foundation bed?

A cubic yard covers about 162 square feet at 2 inches deep. For a standard 30 foot by 3 foot foundation bed, that is 90 square feet, so a little over half a yard gets you there. Most people round up to a full yard to have extra for edges and settling.

Answer

Is there a bad time of year to install landscape rock in Marietta?

Late fall right before leaf drop is the trickiest timing since you will be blowing leaves off fresh rock almost immediately. Late winter after frost season, before the last frost around April 5, tends to be easiest since beds are clear and the ground is workable without summer heat slowing you down.

Answer

Where will the truck drop the rock and do I need to be there?

You choose the drop spot at checkout, typically a driveway or the curb closest to your project area. You do not need to be present, but the area should be clear and accessible for a loaded truck, since rock is heavy and the crew will place it as close to your work zone as the truck can safely reach.

Answer

Should I use landscape rock or mulch around my foundation plants?

It depends on what is planted there. Rock is a strong choice for foundation lines with no plants or with hardy shrubs, since it is a one time install rather than an annual refresh. If you have plants that benefit from organic matter breaking into the soil, mulch is the better fit for that specific bed.
