Smooth tumbled river rock, heavy enough to stay put in drainage runs and handsome enough for beds and borders.

Delivery was smooth and on time!
The triple shredded mulch was great quality and just what we were looking for.

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, or roughly 108 square feet if you go closer to 3 inches for better weed suppression. Measure your bed length by width, decide your depth based on how much foot traffic or drainage load the area sees, and order in full cubic yards since this material is sold that way.

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.

Landscape fabric underneath is what makes this a one time install instead of a yearly chore, since it blocks the sandy soil from mixing up into the rock. Edging, whether metal or paver, keeps the rock from migrating onto the lawn during heavy rain. Some customers also order a bit of topsoil or mulch for the planted sections that border the rock beds.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Sandy loam in Massapequa Park lets fine particles migrate upward over time, so skip the cheap landscape fabric and use a woven geotextile rated for at least ten years. The thin stuff tears where the truck dumps or where you wheelbarrow across it, and once soil pokes through, weeds follow within one growing season, defeating the whole point of going with rock.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

The biggest mistake we see locally is spreading rock right up against siding or wood fencing without a gap. Zone 7b gets humid summers, and rock holds moisture against wood longer than mulch does since it doesn't dry out the same way. Leave 2 to 3 inches of clearance from any wood contact point and you avoid rot down the line.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you're doing a large front yard bed near the Preserve where deer and rabbit pressure is real, pair rock with plants they tend to leave alone, like boxwood or holly, rather than hostas that get grazed to nothing. That way the rock investment isn't framing plants you'll replace every year.

Decorative Stone in Massapequa Park

Sandy loam around Massapequa Park moves water quickly, which is good for drainage but means mulch beds can wash out or need constant topping off. Rock does not have that problem. It sits where you put it through nor'easters off the Great South Bay and through the freeze thaw cycles of zone 7b winters. A lot of homes here run rock beds tight against foundations and along downspout splash zones where organic mulch tends to rot or wash away.

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 stop weeds in my yard long term?

It significantly reduces weeds but does not eliminate them completely, since windblown seeds can still root in the dust that settles on top over the years. Installed correctly over fabric, most Massapequa Park beds stay low maintenance for a decade or more before needing a refresh.

Answer

How many cubic yards 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 edges.

Answer

What time of year is best to install landscape rock here?

Anytime the ground isn't frozen works, but late spring after the April 15 last frost or early fall before November gives you dry sandy loam that's easier to grade and compact fabric into. Avoid installing right after heavy rain since wet sand shifts under the rock.

Answer

Where will the truck place the rock on delivery day?

The driver drops the full load in one pile at a driveway or curbside spot you designate, so make sure there's clear access at least 10 feet wide. We don't spread material across the yard, that part is on the homeowner or your landscaper.

Answer

Should I choose rock or mulch for beds near my downspouts?

Rock holds up better around downspouts since it doesn't wash away or decompose like mulch does under repeated water flow. It won't feed the soil the way organic mulch does, so it's better suited to purely decorative or drainage focused areas rather than beds where you want plants actively growing into rich soil.
