At a 2 to 3 inch install depth, one cubic yard covers roughly 162 square feet at the shallow end of that range. Measure your bed's square footage first, then figure closer to 110 to 130 square feet per yard if you want the fuller 3 inch depth that holds up better against Marion's winter freeze and thaw. Order in full cubic yard increments since this is a one time install you want to get right.

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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

Landscape fabric goes down first if you want this to actually last a decade without weeds pushing through the silt loam underneath. Steel or aluminum edging keeps the rock from migrating into the lawn, especially useful on Marion's flatter lots where mowers run close to the bed line. Some customers pair rock borders with mulched planting pockets so shrubs still get organic matter while the open ground stays low maintenance.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Marion's silt loam drains slower than sandy soil, so grade your bed with a slight slope away from the foundation before you lay fabric. If water pools under the rock, it'll eventually work fabric loose and let silt migrate up through the stone over a few seasons. A couple inches of fall over a few feet is enough, and it's a lot easier to fix before the rock goes down than after.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The most common mistake we see locally is skipping fabric because it seems like an extra step. Without it, rock sinks into Marion's fine grained soil within two or three years and starts looking thin no matter how much you originally ordered. Fabric is what turns this into the one time install it's supposed to be, so don't cut that corner to save an afternoon.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If your budget's tight, use rock only where it earns its keep, foundation lines, downspout splash zones, and high traffic edges, then mulch the planting beds where shrubs and perennials actually benefit from organic matter breaking down into the soil. This mixed approach costs less per square foot overall and keeps your plants fed while the high wear areas stay maintenance free for years.

Decorative Stone in Marion

Marion sits on silt loam that compacts and holds moisture, which is exactly why bare mulch beds here turn muddy every spring thaw and October rain. Rock doesn't break down or wash into the soil the way organic mulch does, so it stays put through freeze thaw cycles and the wet stretches before the May 5 last frost. Around foundations and downspouts, where Shovel City homes deal with runoff, rock sheds water instead of holding it against your siding. It's a common choice for the low maintenance front beds you see all over town near Harding Memorial.

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 actually last through Marion winters without shifting?

Yes, once it's set over fabric with edging to contain it. The freeze thaw cycles here can heave loose rock a little at the edges the first winter, but it settles and stays put after that. This is a one time install, not something you're topping off every spring like mulch.

Answer

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

At a 2 inch depth, 200 square feet needs about 1.25 cubic yards. If you want the sturdier 3 inch depth, plan closer to 1.8 to 2 cubic yards. We'd round up to 1.5 or 2 yards even to cover uneven spots without running short.

Answer

What time of year is best to install rock in Marion?

Late spring after the May 5 last frost through early fall before October gives you dry ground to work with and time to grade properly. Installing in mud from spring thaw makes fabric placement harder and can trap moisture under the rock right from the start.

Answer

Where will the delivery truck place the rock in my yard?

We drop the load in your driveway or another accessible spot you specify at checkout. Make sure there's clear truck access and enough room for the load, since a full cubic yard is heavy and easier to move short distances with a wheelbarrow than to relocate after it's dumped.

Answer

Should I use rock or mulch around my foundation?

Rock holds up better against Marion's downspout runoff and doesn't need replacing, which makes it a solid pick for foundation lines and drainage areas. Mulch feeds the soil and suits planting beds better, so many of our customers use rock near the house and mulch further out where shrubs and perennials are growing.
