About this landscape rock

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

Online ordering was really simple and I liked the transparent pricing.

One cubic yard of landscape rock covers about 162 square feet at a 2 inch depth, which is the standard install depth for most McComb beds. If you want a deeper 3 inch layer for heavier foot traffic or drainage areas, plan on roughly 108 square feet per yard instead. Measure your bed's length and width first, then match it to the depth you want before ordering.

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

Most McComb customers lay landscape fabric underneath the rock to block weeds and keep the silt loam from working its way up through the stone over time. Edging, whether steel or a poured concrete border, keeps rock from migrating into the lawn during heavy rain. If you're also working on a planting bed nearby, a separate load of soil or mulch for those areas keeps rock out of spots where plants actually need organic matter.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Before you spread rock over McComb's silt loam, put down a heavy landscape fabric, not the thin roll from a big box store. Silt loam holds moisture and fine sediment that works up through cheap fabric within a couple seasons, and once that happens you're pulling rock off the bed to fix it. A woven fabric rated for at least 5 years will outlast the rock's own decade-plus lifespan and save you a redo.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Rock beds near tree cover, which is common close to Percy Quin State Park, trap falling leaves and pine needles instead of letting them break down into soil like mulch does. Plan on blowing or raking those beds out every fall before the Nov 12 frost, otherwise the organic debris builds up, holds moisture against the rock, and gives weeds a place to root right on top of your fabric.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

If you're rocking a large front yard bed, order a bit heavier than your calculated total, closer to 5 percent extra, since uneven ground and edging losses eat into coverage fast. It costs less to have a little rock left over for a future downspout project than to place a second small order later and pay for another delivery run.

Decorative Stone in McComb

McComb sits on silt loam that compacts and sheds water slowly, so beds near the foundation or under downspouts tend to stay soggy longer than sandy ground would. Rock over landscape fabric solves that by keeping the surface dry and stable instead of muddy. In zone 8b, camellias and other regional plantings often get bordered with rock beds that need almost no upkeep between the Nov 12 first frost and the Mar 15 last frost. It is a common choice for the low-maintenance foundation beds you see around older McComb homes near Percy Quin State Park.

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

How deep should I install landscape rock in McComb yards?

Most McComb beds use a 2 to 3 inch depth. Two inches works for standard groundcover coverage and gives you about 162 square feet per cubic yard. Three inches is better for spots with heavier drainage needs or foot traffic, though it covers less ground per yard, around 108 square feet, so factor that into your order size.

Answer

How many cubic yards do I need for a 300 square foot bed?

At the standard 2 inch depth, one cubic yard covers about 162 square feet, so a 300 square foot bed needs a little under 2 cubic yards. Round up to 2 yards to account for uneven ground and edging loss, which is standard practice on most McComb installs.

Answer

Is fall or spring a better time to install landscape rock here?

Either works since this is a one time install, not a seasonal refresh, but many McComb customers prefer to place it before the Nov 12 first frost so beds are settled and clean heading into winter. Spring installs after the Mar 15 last frost also work well if you're pairing the project with new plantings.

Answer

Where will the rock be placed when it's delivered?

Our truck drops the load wherever you specify, typically a driveway or the edge of your yard closest to the install area. Make sure there's clear access for a full size delivery truck and enough room to maneuver, since narrower McComb driveways sometimes need the load placed at the street instead.

Answer

Should I use landscape rock or mulch around my foundation?

Rock is the better choice against foundations since it doesn't hold moisture against siding the way organic mulch can, and it's a one time install rather than an annual refresh. Mulch is the better call anywhere you want the material to break down and feed the soil, like planting beds with camellias or other zone 8b shrubs.
